Manufacturing
Our simulation modelling experience extends across the manufacturing industry, from food and beverage production to the manufacture of building products, telephone assembly and racking plant operations.
Project Examples
- SMS developed a simulation model for a new manufacturing facility for CSR Hebel which demonstrated that the proposed design could not meet the production requirements. The model helped to identify options and quantify their performance, assisting in a redesign which would achieve required outcomes. Read Full Case Study
- We developed a detailed production model for a proposed major upgrade to a building board production plant, taking into consideration intermediate storage requirements for drying and cooling of product, the influence of product sequencing on storage requirements, and the distribution of tasks between available forklift trucks.
- We modelled a proposed new cheese production facility in Victoria to simulate additive handling and transfer of mixtures to cookers, and to develop scheduling strategies for blenders.
- We modelled product handling through a complex network of conveyors at a food and beverage operation before a significant redesign of their operations. The modelling identified a serious shortcoming in the initial design which allowed major changes to the proposed layout before the project progressed too far.
