Development and implementation of dynamic domain-specific simulation system for discrete manufacturing facilities of Agat – a part of Russian aerospace industry. The system is used by the team of internal consultants to check feasibility of production schedules, validate CAPEX initiatives as well as high-level allocation of production orders.
Period: April 2019 – October 2019
Industry sector: Manufacturing
Client / Partner: Agat
| Project objective |
- Development of the dynamic simulation modeling tool for a large-scale discrete manufacturing plant. The system is used to test production plan feasibility considering limited resources availability, complex BOMs and other constraints and interdependencies. The system was also used for justification of investments in the modernization of production capacities and for scenario analysis of cooperation options between enterprises of a holding company
