A Simulation Study On A Textile Factory
Abstract
Nowadays, simulation is a tool for a variety of usages as well as analyzing and developing production systems in
businesses.. The predominant features of simulations are its allowance of setting a system model up and experimenting it
without enduring financial costs and time in real-world. In this study, a simulation model was set up for the present situation
of a textile factory‟s production system. ProModel 9.2 was used for the simulation program. With the model set up with this
program, it is possible to follow the production of the department of the stitching in the factory visually and consequently
getting quantitative analyses. It was seen that targeted quantity of production in the working hours was not produced and the
rate of use of some machines were low. Accordingly, two alternative scenarios were developed. In the first scenario, two
machines were removed from stitching tapes and approximately 30% increase was observed in the rate of the use of machine.
However, working hours were exceeded. Because in this scenario the working hours were still exceeded, a second scenario
in which unused machines named „supporting was developed and the completion of production in working hours was
ensured. Thanks to this, the rate of use of machine exceeded 90%.
