Desarrollo de un sistema de programación de producción de pastas alimenticias soportado por un modelo de simulación

Abstract

As part of an analysis of the current programming system, a new method is proposed based on a study of the existing processes of production and production scheduling and the identification of variables and opportunities both in the programming and in the production process itself. The result raises a new programming system with a production sequence in the production lines different from those used before the project. The system is supported and validated by a simulation model of the pulping process that has previously been characterized as a continuous and batch treatment. On the other hand, it was found that sequence programming in the two existing processing lines has a considerable impact on the programming and use of the four packaging lines. All of the above is complemented by other proposals aimed essentially at reducing energy consumption and reducing operating costs with the ultimate goal of making the plant and the company more competitive.
