Abstract
Traditional analytical tools used to increase process efficiency and reduce cost have tended to focus on the physical processes employed in each stage of the component manufacture. An alternative method of increasing efficiency is to view the component manufacturing process as a whole and optimise the integration of each processing stage, such that throughput is optimised for a given manufacturing scenario. In linking manufacturing simulations with a technical cost modelling capability there is an opportunity to maximise cost savings. This paper describes the application of discrete event simulation in combination with technical cost modelling to the production of an SRIM composite cross-car beam.
