ESTUDO DE VIABILIDADE ECONÔMICA E FINANCEIRA COMBINANDO O LEAN SIMULATION E O PROJETO DE FÁBRICA

Abstract

Discrete event simulation is an important instrument used to design virtual reality, combining traditional Lean Manufacturing techniques and data science. They can be used in different phases of the life cycle of a physical asset, being able to identify losses and waste such as displacement, waiting, overprocessing, overproduction, in-process stocks, queues, defects and rework. It can also identify flow imbalance problems caused by the presence of bottlenecks. Computer simulations can be aggregated and combined with other methodologies, such as economic and financial viability studies of an enterprise, which aim to evaluate the projected results of an investment initiative. With the analysis of Lean Simulation metrics and improvements in resource leveling, it was possible to avoid bottleneck problems and obtain financial gains of more than 36% in the feasibility phase of a factory project.
