Disseminando o uso do controle de carga no planejamento e controle da produção: modelagem utilizando um software de simulação comercial

Abstract

The aim of this study is to make a framework of a Workload Control (WLC) approach in commercial software for discrete event simulation. This study is justified because although have a lot of researches on this approach, there are no studies or tutorials that demonstrate how to model and simulate which types of commercial’s software. This study uses the modeling and simulation method. The main result is a description of the construction of the framework showing in detail how to simulate the WLC approach in a commercial software for discrete event simulation, in which a first moment of the logic of the problem is developed in MATLAB’s system, where it is based on a shop floor model researching of Land (2006), the conceptual algorithm of the WLC is developed to verify the consistency of the invented part before making a conversion to the simulation software. Finally, the WLC logic is developed and are constructed and simulated on a simulation scenarios from of literature. It is also possible to build different scenarios that operate based on WLC policies in search of leaner outcomes such as the needs of the modeled factory floor, contributing to a real situation. This work in the business and academic environment, which facilitates the replication and application of framework in other environments, facilitating the progress of the project, evaluation for the assembly of the base model, allowing the direct focus on the comparisons and adaptations of the environment of managers and / or researchers.
