Modeling and Analyzing Supply Chain Disruptions Through Plant Simulation: A Case Study of a Process Industry in Kerala
摘要
Supply chain disruptions pose significant challenges to process industries, impacting efficiency and productivity. This paper analyzes the disruptions in a food processing industry using a simulation model. Using Tecnomatix plant simulation software, a simulation model of the process industry is modeled and analyzed with machine failure. A parallel station is added to overcome the machine failure as one of the mitigation strategies, and the improvement in the time taken is compared. The results offer valuable insights, such as the decrease in efficiency due to a machine failure and the advantages of using two parallel stations to get control of the machine failures. This paper is about a simulation-based approach that helps the process industries to know the impacts of the disruptions on their industry and take the necessary actions at the earliest to reduce the losses.
