Use of flexsim to simulate improvement proposals in a remote control production line

Computational simulation is a tool with the potential to generate a large reduction in operating costs, since it is possible to model a process in a controllable environment, test modifications and analyze the results, without necessarily changing the actual structure of the production process. In this article, it was sought to propose productive scenarios through simulation that aims to eliminate the presence of non-compliant products due to the use of flux NC215 in the wave soldering process and to increase the productive capacity for production of remote controls in a company located in the Industrial Pole of Manaus/AM, identify the best proposed scenario from the use of computer simulation with Flexsim software. Data was collected regarding the current production process. The computational model built, was verified and validated successfully in comparison with data from the real process. Through the results obtained by the computational simulation it was possible to identify the best proposed scenario.
