Abstract

This Final Year Project is dealing with the Development of a Simulation Aided Scheduling for Packaging Process at Teaching Factory (TF). This study aims to develop a simulation aid scheduling tool for TF packaging operation and to identify the effectiveness of a proper planned of sequence operation by using dispatching rule. Therefore, knowledge regarding production planning, including the scheduling technique, is essential to carry out in this study. This project describes the importance of dispatching rules such as shortest processing time (SPT), longest processing time (LPT) and earliest due date (EDD) in improving the scheduling in TF. The effectiveness of each rule is compared and summarized to determine their performance measure by using a mathematical formulation. Discrete Event Simulation will be used to develop a simulation model that can be used to figure out on how the system change and how well it will work as well as the changes in the process variables. Tecnomatix Plant Simulation software used to simulate the system modelling in TF and to identify the makespan of each product by using gantt chart. The result shown that shortest processing time (SPT) rule performs well in minimizing the average flow time, minimizing the number of job delays, minimizing number of lateness and maximizing the number of average days early.
