Conceptual and Preliminary Design of a Shoe Manufacturing Plant

This article presents a procedure for designing footwear production plants with Decision Support System combined an expert system and simulation approach. The industry has many operations is labour intensive. Optimisation of plant layout, machinery, human resources very important to design the manufacturing system, making adequate investment in space equipment. In it essential reduce process time, so research based on improve plan. work contains two case studies, direct injection assembly carburising methods, which are compared analyse all necessary have best cost–benefit ratio. each case, precise knowledge type quantity machinery needed estimate production. comparison been done through simulations using base system. conclusions presented improvement time obtained by applying methodology developed study.
