“…This solution to evaluate the profitability of an investment, that constitutes a base requirement for the financing of lean introduction (Sullivan, McDonald & van Aken, 2002), is usually cost effective and generally cheaper than a practical on the field test. Many examples of this approach combining VSM and simulations are available in literature (Abdulmalek & Rajgopal, 2007;Bernards, van Engelen, Schrauwen, Cramer & Luitjens, 1990;Gurumurthy & Kodali, 2011;Lian & van Landeghem, 2007;McDonald et al, 2002;Narasimhan, Parthasarathy & Narayan, 2007;Wang, Guinet, Belaidi & Besombes, 2009). One of the most popular simulation tools available on the internet is Arena Simulation (Detty & Yingling, 2000;Hammann & Markovitch, 1995;Kelton, 2002).…”

Abstract:Purpose: This paper describes the use of simulation and case-study research to assess flexibility gains induced by the adoption of three Lean Manufacturing practices.Design/methodology/approach: We gather useful material and information about the manufacturing process of a selected Small-Medium Enterprise by adopting a case-research approach. The Value Stream Mapping is the method used for visualizing flows of products and information along the production system. Starting from the current arrangement of the company, computer simulation is used to assess the benefits arising from Cellular Manufacturing, Just-in-Time Delivery by Suppliers, and Single Minute Exchange of Dies. Findings: To investigate the flexibility improvements coming from the introduction of LeanManufacturing, we present a simulation model of the described company on which we performed our analysis. We quantify the flexibility of different configurations according to the new 5-step approach in order to segregate the contribution of different lean techniques. Originality/value:We extend the combined use of Case Research and Computer Simulation to the research on Manufacturing Flexibility within Small-Medium Enterprises. We enhance the knowledge on this under investigated context collecting quantitative field data. Moreover, building on the factorial Design of Experiment, we introduce a new 5-step method to appraise the costbenefit ratio of lean techniques for flexibility. The managerial implication of this research is -919-Journal of Industrial Engineering and Management -https://doi.org/10.3926/jiem.2119 mostly related to the provision of a supporting method for the decision making process propaedeutic to Lean Manufacturing introduction.

“…et al [1]. In the simulation, demagnetization effects in perpendicular media are fully taken into account, neglecting the decrease of the demagnetization field near a perpendicular transition [2,3]. Simulated reproduced output waveforms by this method are therefore not correct because output waveform strongly depends on the magnetization near a transition.…”
