Explore how digital transformation in manufacturing reshapes automotive OEM production flow. This case study represents how Bravo Delta Simulation implemented modeling technology for the production planning optimization of a Tier 1 automotive supplier. Learn how it helped Mayco International leverage new approaches to enhance production processes, meet customer demand, and drive growth.
In 2012, GE opened a new battery manufacturing plant in conjunction with the launch of an innovative energy storage business. GE’s exciting opportunity brought on many new challenges, such as increasing production throughput and yield under evolving processes and uncertainties, and reducing manufacturing costs in order to gain market share. The GE Global Research Center sought out a powerful and flexible tool to analyze, not just the specific process, but the manufacturing system as a whole.
A leading tire manufacturing and exporting company in Argentina wanted to adjust their transformation processes to increase productivity. They wanted to take a holistic view of the plant in order to understand and improve the whole process and not just one exact problem.
A global FMCG manufacturing leader optimized its food product inventory management while ensuring maximum service level and minimizing product quality deterioration. For this task, consultants from ITC Infotech built a simulation-based model of the FMCG company’s multi-echelon distribution network to find interdependencies between product quality deterioration, fill rates, and the shelf-life factor that helps inventory planning. As a result, the business would be able to decide how much product should be manufactured and make informed decisions.
Discover how Warner Robins Air Logistics Center optimized its aircraft maintenance workflow and achieved KPIs through simulation modeling and standardized processes. Check out the case study to learn how innovative solutions helped achieve success in maintenance optimization and freed up weeks of engineers' time.
A fast-growing company in the hair and body care industry needed to implement and support a sales and operations planning (S&OP) platform in order to improve and integrate their demand and supply planning processes. Using AnyLogic as production optimization software, ITE Consult developed the model that allowed the company to run a rough-cut capacity plan (RCCP) and play different scenarios. The company reduced inventory to safety stock levels, which was a huge saving for them.
The construction industry has a challenge to build more energy-efficient, low-carbon and affordable products. In order to do that, new technologies must be implemented, in particular using off-site construction. Here, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, working with the US Department of Energy created a simulation model to try to understand if off-site construction could lead to the desired production outcomes.
Manufacturing companies face many challenges in the world today including globalization and changes in consumer demand. To overcome these obstacles, companies can either keep extra capacity or engage in resource sharing in order to utilize their resources in a more productive way.
Perfection Pet Foods is a US manufacturer of extruded pet food, with a focus on ultra-premium products for dogs and cats. For three consecutive years, demand for the company’s products increased annually by approximately 35%, while demand profiles changed as people switched their preferences from big dogs to smaller ones. This was the reason the company decided to optimize their production line and adjust it to the current demand.
