Optimization and Simulation of Production Lines Based on Flexsim

Abstract

With the rising labor cost in recent years, small and medium-sized enterprises are difficult to transform quickly due to the limitation of capital and technology, and thus their competitiveness in the industry becomes weaker. The simulation of production line by Flexsim software can analyze and improve the current situation of the production line at a relatively low cost, and provide corresponding data support for the optimization of the production line. This paper takes the wooden furniture production line of company A as an example, based on the combination of "IE" method and Flexsim simulation software to optimize the problems and bottlenecks in the production system, and uses Flexsim software to verify the simulation and put forward the production line optimization plan. Comparing the simulation data, it can be found that the balance rate of the production line of Company A has been improved by 46.71%, which effectively improves the efficiency of the production line, and provides a certain reference for the optimization of the wooden furniture production line of other small and medium-sized enterprises.
