Description 597-602
The simulation creates the virtual production model which is exactly like the real environment, and it provides future
insights before laying down the actual production plant layout. With the help of simulation, we can simulate the complex
and costly manufacturing system without investing money physically and check the system’s real-life behavior. In this
study, for the first time, the modelling and simulation of two-wheeler crankcase cover manufacturing are done with the help
of Flexsim. This study deals with the development of a simulation model for crankcase cover manufacturing systems in the
automobile industry. Flexsim simulation tool is used as an optimization tool for analyzing the effect of varying the number
of operators and process stations on system performance using various scenarios. The results indicate that scenario 2 is best
for crankcase cover manufacturing which reduces the overall idle time of all process stations and optimizes the number of
Die-Casting Machines (DCM) and Vertical Milling Center (VMC). These results are useful for all industries for simulating
their process or product layout.
