Intuition around core operations management concepts

Intuition around core operations management concepts

Students experiment with assembly process models and configure an efficient production environment. The simulation explores concepts in process analysis through a series of simulation models and related problem sets.

Students work with process models over time in this series of problems dealing with production environments. While experimenting, students can monitor throughput, cycle times, production capacity, and utilization rates. Students add workers or set task times to improve yield.

·         Develop intuition around core operations management concepts

·         Investigate fundamental concepts of process analysis

·         Facilitate discussion around the interplay between various elements of process analytics

·         Operations Management

·         Capacity Management

·         Inventory Management

 

 

Welcome to the Process Analytics Simulation

 

This application will let you experiment with process models by simulating them over time, or calculating them analytically.

 

Definitions

 

As you go through the exercises, please note the following definitions of terms that  may be used.

 

 

Cycle time for a production line is the time between successive (finished product) units coming off the end of the line.
