Process Improvement in a Textile Firm Using Simulation

Abstract

This study was performed in a textile factory in Kayseri and essentially process improvement was made with the aim of using the resources such as labour, material and equipment in a most efficient way in accordance with the capacity. The bottleneck points in the production line that prevent the productive work of the factory were determined and tried to be eliminated. In this context, the current assembly line was balanced and the effects of the allowable improvements on the manufacturing system were analyzed using simulation. The current and future state simulation models were run and the outputs of the both models were compared. The current resources were also used in the future state simulation model without using any additional resource. When the annual production quantities of the current and future state simulation models were compared, it was seen that the proposed model’s outputs were more than the current one’s with the ratio of %47. It was foreseen that this rise could effect the productivity of the firm and the probable managerial decisions. Finally, limitations of this study and the research areas are pointed out for future research on this subject
