Aim: Assignment on analysis of material handling system - modelling simulation for the selected plant layout.
Software: Flexsim 2019.
Problem statement: Do the analysis of given plant layout for material handling. Plant manufactures a type of
product, Plant uses an automatic guided vehicles (AGV) for handling the product. Use following resources, task
executors and parameters. Do the simulation of given plant layout in FlexSim 2019.
Sr. No. Task Executers / Resources Parameters
01 Source Input is unlimited. Inter-arrival time: 3 minutes
02 Queue Qty :1 capacity 1000 units, target batch size 3, Control
by Automatic guided vehicle( AGV)
07 Automatic Guided Vehicle QTY:1 Load Time 0 minute. Unload Time 0 minutes.
Max Speed 60 meter/minute. Capacity 03 at a time.
08 Sink Output
Run model for 24 hours. (24*60 =1440 minutes)
Find:
1) Total Part arrived and dispatched.
2) Average time required for part to dispatch.
3) Average work in progress.
Procedure:
Step 1: Start FlexSim
Open FlexSim by double-clicking on the FlexSim icon on your desktop. The Start Page will appear. Select the
"New Model" option in the upper left hand corner of the window.
Step 8: Place Task Executor (Automated Guided Vehicle ) to the Layout and connect
Use task executor tab and click and drag task executor in the layout.
Connect task executor to the control point 1
After this Press Reset Button
Conclusion
With help of simulation software we analyzed the given plant layout for material handling system. After doing
analysis we found that 1 automated guided vehicle can easily handle the total production without creating any
piling up of Product manufactured.
