This study focuses on the simulation-based optimization of both serial and parallel line operations. In today’s complex manufacturing environments, traditional methods often fail to fully capture the intricate connections and dependencies between processes. To address these challenges, this research adopts a more holistic and practical approach by utilizing Siemens Tecnomatix and Plant Simulation software. These advanced tools enable the creation of detailed virtual models of real production lines, allowing for comprehensive simulation and analysis of plant layouts, material flow, equipment utilization, and process timing. By integrating real operational data into these simulations, the study gains a clearer understanding of system interactions, including internal workflows and supplier connections. The models also allow for the testing of various scenarios such as adjusting machine schedules or altering material handling methods without interrupting actual production. Built-in analysis tools provide performance evaluations, help visualize process bottlenecks, and identify areas for improvement through graphs and statistical insights. This simulation-driven approach not only optimizes current operations but also supports strategic planning for future changes. By simulating before taking action, companies can make more informed decisions, minimize downtime, and enhance overall efficiency. The results highlight the effectiveness of simulation-based optimization in improving manufacturing line performance.

Keywords: Simulation-based optimization, manufacturing systems, Tecnomatix Plant Simulation, process improvement, production line efficiency.
