Efficient Production Simulation

Efficient Production Simulation

A method for software-supported collaboration between production and simulation experts
Marec Kexel, Walter Wincheringer
Production simulations involve considerable effort, among other things, due to the knowledge transfer between the domain expert and the simulation specialist. For small and medium-sized companies, this often represents an economic hurdle in the use of simulation. In this article, a method for a software- supported cooperation between the production expert and the simulation specialist is presented, which leads to a considerable reduction in effort. This means that the advantages of simulation can be used economically even with low optimization potentials.
