“…It can simulate the behavior of a new configuration, allowing production engineers to optimize the configuration through several iterations, testing and observing the main production factors such as throughput, work in process, and lead time [2]. Examples of production simulation software include FlexSim [3], Siemens Tecnomatix Plant Simulation [4], and FACTS Analyzer [5].…”

Simulation software is used in the production development process to simulate production and predict behaviors, calculate times, and plan production in advance. Digital human modeling (DHM) software is used to simulate humans working in production and assess whether workstation designs offer appropriate ergonomic conditions for the workers. However, these human simulations are usually carried out by human factors engineers or ergonomists, whereas the production simulations are carried out by production engineers. Lack of integration of these two simulations can lead to suboptimal solutions when the factory is not optimized to improve both productivity and ergonomics. To tackle this problem, a platform has been developed that connects production flow simulation software data and DHM software data and integrates them in a generic software for data treatment and visualization. Production flow simulation software data and DHM software data are organized in a hierarchical structure that allows synchronization between the production data and the ergonomic data on the target simulation software. The platform is generic and can be connected to any production flow simulation software and any DHM software by creating specific links for each software. The platform requires only the models of the production line, workstations, and tasks in order to perform the simulations in the target simulation software and collect the simulation results to present the results to the user of the platform.

“…Production of modern logistics system simulation through the simulation aims to understand various statistics and dynamic performance which the material transport and stored dynamic process have [17,18]. Such as whether the a variety of devices' processing power of supporting meets the actual, whether utilization of transport equipment is reasonable, whether transport routes is smooth, whether the material flowing through the system cycle is too long and so on [19,20]. If using of simulation software, it can help staffs to effectively complete optimizing the layout design in the system layout and commissioning the system can save time and resources.…”

Because a production logistics system is very complex and dynamic, optimizing its layout accurately and efficiently is difficult and even impossible based on the traditional mathematical method. This paper focus on finding the bottleneck issues in production logistics system and optimizing its layout based on Flexsim software. With an actual case of production logistics system, we can find the pivotal issues based Flexsim software. And then, we can't simulate continuously the production logistics system layout s with the equipment number or different layouts based on Flexsim, until the bottleneck disappears or is not so obvious. Finally we can obtain the improvement layout which meets with the requirement of enterprises' production plan preferably. The results prove that it is convenient and effective to simulate and optimize the production logistics system layout based on Flexsim.
