Use of Simulation as safe platform to test new strategies in Fuel Cell Manufacturing
Key Points
- Build a Model to test new strategies
- Bottleneck Identification and Throughput improvement
- Sensitivity Analysis on Buffer Capacity
Client's Challenge
- Develop and Test system-level strategies in a "safe" environment before implementation
- Understand the robustness of these strategies to changing market conditions
PMI's Approach
- Data analysis, 2D model building, verification & validation
- Identification of the Bottlenecks using WIP and TIS Data
- Increase bottleneck's capacity to analyze the impact on throughput
- Build Throughput Improvement Roadmap
- Carry out Sensitivity Analysis on buffer capacities
Findings & Recommendation
- Facility was able to produce max. of 310 stacks per week
- Sintering Oven was first the bottleneck
- Inspection and Glue Station together were the second bottleneck, etc.
- An increase in throughput was found for various scenarios
- Best possible strategy was identified and selected for implementation in the
plant - Buffer Analysis helped identify the minimum number of boats required to
process a batch in the furnace
