Production batch sizing and inventory level control using simulation software

Computer simulation has great application potential in the area of Production Engineering as a tool to support decision making it allows simulate functioning real system through logical relationships, order observe its behavior under different scenarios. Which could not be practiced system. In line with this aspect, present work aims report on for design production batches and inventory control, highlighting process necessary construction generated model, well challenges opportunities observed. achieve proposed objective, literature review was carried out topics interest; choice understanding software and; survey data from large auto parts manufacturer located interior state São Paulo. The main results were an increase volume inclusion dimensioning buffer after assembly balance between number items each component product structure supply capacity manufacturing cell processing. Cabe ressaltar que o modelo de simulação produto da pesquisa deste artigo pode ser aplicado como um sistema apoio à decisão do gestor para elaboração planejamento estratégico e operacional com propósito melhorar capacidade análise decisão. It is important mentioning that model article can applied preparation strategic planning operational planning, purpose improving analysis decision-making.
