Overview

In response to CCAD's need for identifying direct and indirect costs associated with activities at the shop floor level, KBSI developed a simulation-based system for determining the costs associated with working job batches in the CCAD's blade and shot peening shops. In the first phase of this project, KBSI, using AIØ WIN® and SmartCost®, developed a series of models to analyze costs associated with working a daily batch of parts. The finished model set, including shop activity decompositions, cost models, cost rules, and analysis spread sheets, provided the flexibility to optimize the daily workload flow and realize the highest productivity and cost avoidance.
