Arquitetura de supervisão integrada ao Arena para simulação e avaliação do indicador OEE

Abstract

The presence of indicators in the factory represents a way of analysing the performance of the operations and functional state of the machinery, also assisting the companies in the decision making process at the operational, tactical and strategical plan. However, the implementation of a performance measurement system in the industry faces the hardship of a correct configuration and comprehension of an indicator on the before quoted plans during the system's initial phase. The project of implementing the desirable real-time indicator analysis system may become expensive due to the necessity of investing in the necessary equipment for the processes data collection and the indicator analysis, which consumes overrated time for organizational feedback and reactivity. Often a performance evaluation system experiences failure precisely for this high period of implementation and misunderstanding of its relations operation and maintenance with the upper layers of decision. Therefore, the computer-based simulation of such process é shown as a solution for visualizing and understanding such indicators without having the necessity of a high investment with the assurance of a return from it. For such, the present work has in its objective to analyse the behaviour of industrial indicators shown in a real time scenario, especially the OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) through an industrial supervision project built on an industrial technological foundation, based on the data collected from the ARENA simulation environment. With the successful implementation of the integration between the simulation control of the factory process, data collection technology and supervisory, a brief study of the main failures of an automotive panel production process selected by the group was carried on, thus visualizing its impact over the OEE.
