❖ Experiment No. 8
❖ Experiment title
Manufacturing System Simulation
❖ Objective(s)
➢ Optimize your system before you implement changes in real life, saving your
company time and money using FLEXSIM software
➢ Apparatus
■ FlexSim Software
❖ Experimental procedure
➢ Line Balancing Model
■ Built the Model: We chose the necessary Flexsim objects and
placed them in our model workspace.
■ Established Connections: We linked objects together with the "A"
key to define the flow of items and create the process logic.
■ Input Data: We carefully added real-world data like processing
times, resource amounts, and other details to individual Flexsim
objects.
■ Cleared the Board: We reset the model to ensure a fresh starting
point.
■ Observed the Run: We simulated the model and analyzed the
results.
■ Iterated for Balance: We experimented with processing times and
processor quantities, aiming to synchronize the input and output of
the model.
➢ AGV
■ Defined the Route: We created the path the AGV needed to travel
on.
■ Placed Key Points: We added control points, a source, a sink, and
a queue for managing AGV flow.
■ Made Connections: We linked the points, paying attention to
center port and I/O connections.
■ Checked It Out: We ran the model to see the AGV in action.
Final Result: Significant improvement from an initial output of 179 to a final output of
around 360, with input remaining close to the desired 371.
❖ Safety Concern
➢ Ensure that you are maintaining some distance from the machine in order to
avoid injuries.
➢ Never put yourself into any position where your eyes approach the axis of a
laser beam.
➢ Wear safety glasses and other safety gear if required.
