POM Flowline Optimizer

Find the optimal buffer configuration of a flow line in 5 steps

1. Select options (10 seconds)

2. Define system layout (30 seconds)
3. Edit system data (120 seconds)
4. Compute key performance indicators (0.01
seconds)
5. Find optimum buffer configuration (0.2 seconds)
6. Perform sensitivity analysis (rerun steps 2 to 6)

New throughput
Step 6: Sensitivity analysis

If the number of buffers required is not

acceptable, consider the following changes of the
system data:
Modify the availability of a station
Reduce the cycle time of one or multiple stations
etc.
Each of these options can be evaluated with
POM Flowline Optimizer on-the-fly.
