APPLICATION OF CIMFACTORY SOFTWARE TOWARDS IMPROVEMENT OF THE PRODUCTION FLOOR LAYOUT IN A MANUFACTURING COMPANY
Keywords:
KeywordsAbstract
The aim of this study is to help in improving the plant layout of a
manufacturing company. The objective is to redesign a new layout in
order to improve the productivity. Industrial Engineering techniques
will be implemented to identify the entire problem, which occurs in the
production floor. After the main problem has been identified,
CIMFactory simulation software that includes FactoryCAD and
FactoryFLOW will be used to generate result reports. Critical
analysis will be done based on the reports and the best alternative
layout will be suggested to the company's management for future
development.
