... versatility. We also kept our finger on the pulse and discussed the latest simulation modeling trends with you. As 2024 is over, it is time to review the top 5 blog posts that received the most attention. 5. Process optimization in manufacturing via SAP module and simulation model integration This post highlights how integrating the SAP Digital Manufacturing module with AnyLogic simulation models can unlock operational efficiencies in manufacturing. By aligning real-time ERP data with dynamic simulations,...
Breaking barriers with simulation: highlights from the AnyLogic Conference 2023
... using two agent-based models (a process flow and a geospatial traffic flow model). To allow the stakeholders in this project to run their own custom experiments, the AnyLogic Cloud platform was utilized. PwC built a model in AnyLogic that connects to SAP Digital Manufacturing to orchestrate factory operations. Orders are assigned from SAP, and modifications to the model on the simulated factory floor are subsequently reported back to SAP. This results in the creation of a functional digital twin of ...
Manufacturing Capacity Planning for an Ice Cream Plant
... management's challenge was to be able to reformulate their plans in order to balance supply and demand and make sure they would avoid stock-outs in key products. They also sought ways to optimize the use of their production capacities. AnyLogic software and SAP integration Ite Consult found simulation modeling to be the best tool to provide Conaprole with the solution to these problems. They built a model in AnyLogic that was integrated with SAP Material Management and Production Planning and the other ...
Production Scheduling Software for Metal Meshes Factory
... parameters: Storage capacities Transportation availability Machine calendar Machine productivity and efficiency Raw material availability Initial stock Forecasted and confirmed demand The greatest part of the input data was taken from SAP system and processed by the model. The most complex components (e.g., machines) included inner heuristics to optimize certain parts of the process and adapt to changing context conditions. To find an optimized production schedule, modelers ...
Demand and Supply Planning with the Use of Production Optimization Software
... process. The stakeholders agreed on sales, operational, and financial plans. The S&OP process cycle is demonstrated below. The S&OP platform (click to enlarge) The blue cycle was powered by SAP Analytics Cloud. The orange cycle was supported with the AnyLogic production optimization software and Gurobi. The process was embedded into the system, so the system informed managers about actions and when it should be ready every single month. ...
