Increasing yoghurt daily production with modeling and simulation process

ABSTRACT: The objective of this research was to use the modeling and computer simulation to support decision makers, aiming to increase the productive capacity of the agro-industry of LaticínioFunarbe. Specifically, it has modeled the current yoghurt production sector for simulation that enables it to meet the new demand. The Arena 14.7 simulation software was used to conduct the modeling. To validate the model, the output of yoghurt production collected at the factory for three months was compared with the output from the simulated computational model. Two indicators were established to perform analyzes of four different scenarios. The implemented model resulted in an increase in the production capacity of 5,000L.d-1 of yoghurt, corresponding to a production of yoghurts processed daily three times higher than the current production.

摘要：本研究旨在通过建模与计算机仿真辅助决策者，以提升LaticínioFunarbe农产加工业的生产产能。具体而言，本研究针对现有酸奶生产环节开展建模并构建仿真模型，以满足新增的市场需求。本次建模采用Arena 14.7仿真软件完成。为验证模型有效性，将工厂连续三个月采集的酸奶产量数据与仿真计算模型的输出结果进行对比。研究确立了两项指标，用于对四种不同仿真场景展开分析。所搭建的模型可使酸奶日产能提升5000升·日⁻¹，对应每日酸奶加工量较当前水平高出两倍。
