Creating a Digital Twin of Your Shop Floor to See Your Future Production Reality
11:00 am – 11:45 am Intermediate
In their attempts to improve on-time delivery (OTD) and throughput, most manufacturers struggle with traditional scheduling and spreadsheets. The purpose of this presentation is to educate the audience on how to create a Digital Twin of their production environment which then can be used to show future load vs capacity, identify future bottlenecks, determine when any order will finish, quantify personnel requirements, highlight material shortages, and more. We will also explore how the resulting Digital Twin can be used to perform "What-if's" (e.g., add/subtract capacity - people, machines, shifts; add load such as new quotes or possible orders, change priorities), and the resulting impact on OTD and/or Revenue/Contribution Margin (bottom-line impact).
