VASQUEZ ALVAREZ, Orlando  and  ROSALES LOPEZ, Pedro Pablo. Application of a Discrete-Event Simulation Model to Improve the Productivity of the Production Process in a Manufacturing Company. Ind. data [online]. 2023, vol.26, n.1, pp.303-332. ISSN 1560-9146.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15381/idata.v26i1.23717.

In this paper, we introduce a simulation model using ProModel simulation software designed to propose and evaluate improvements to increase the productivity of the production process of a manufacturing company while helping to achieve the company’s objectives. The study begins with the model conceptualization, explaining the functioning of the company’s production process and detailing the transactions used in the operations. The model layout is then presented, containing the different locations, entities, and resources provided by the production process. Finally, the results of the model are transcribed with the new values of the variables that intervene in the process for comparison with the current ones to determine the conclusions of productivity improvement.
