Application of a discrete event simulation for robust system design of a melt facility
journal contribution
posted on 2003-12-01, 00:00 authored by Douglas CreightonDouglas Creighton, Saeid NahavandiThis paper presents a methodology to identify robust operating regions through the selection of controllable factory variables, using discrete event simulation. A casting plant melt facility was used as an industrial test bed to develop these techniques. A robust system design was determined by response surface analysis of key production parameters. Furthermore, robust operating policies that maximise throughput, while minimizing work-in-progress and thus energy consumption were identified.
