Our simulation modelling experience extends across the manufacturing industry, from food and beverage production to the manufacture of building products, telephone assembly and racking plant operations.

SMS produced a detailed production model for a proposed major upgrade to a building board production plant taking into consideration intermediate storage requirements for drying and cooling of product, the influence of product sequencing on storage requirements, and the distribution of tasks between available forklift trucks.
SMS modelled a proposed new cheese production facility to simulate additive handling and transfer of mixtures to cookers, and to develop scheduling strategies for blenders.
SMS developed a product handling model for a complex network of conveyors at a food and beverage operation, identifying a serious shortcoming in the initial design which allowed major changes to the proposed layout before the project progressed too far.
SMS worked with CSR Hebel to simulate the proposed design of their new manufacturing facility. Our independent modelling-based review demonstrated that the proposed design could not meet production requirements, leading to a redesign of the factory which subsequently met the site’s required performance outcomes.

SMS worked collaboratively with CSR Hebel to simulate their proposed new manufacturing facility. The resulting Arena simulation software clearly demonstrated that the proposed design could not meet production requirements.
