of implementing a new manufacturing strategy or analyzing possible alternatives being considered. Kumar and Phrommathed (2006) used simulation to model a sheeting operation at a pulp and paper manufacturer where simulation reduced the possibility of ineffectively redesigning a critical process. Comm and Mathaisel (2005) studied a lean manufacturing application of a labor-intensive industry in China. Simulation improved the use of VSM by addressing the complexity and number of the process steps in the system analysis. Van Landeghem and Debuf (1997) state other benefits of applying simulation as a validation tool for lean manufacturing: 1. Simulation as a Cost Saving Tool: The use of a simulation model can help managers see the effects before a big implementation: the impact of layout changes, resource reallocation, etc. on the key performance indicators before and after lean transformation without huge investment. 2. Simulation as a training tool: In most companies, especially when they are small, new concepts are hard to introduce. Simulation has proven to be a powerful eye-opener. In general, simulation helps to compare the performance of a lean system or design to the one that currently exists before any change is done. Also, it provides a convincing basis for manufactures to adopt lean manufacturing. For the project, simulation is proposed as a method to determine how vacuum drying can impact the TH, WIP and CT of part of a flooring production line. 2.13 SIMIOTM SIMULATION SOFTWARE SimioTM simulation software is a simulation framework based on intelligent objects. The software was built in .NET technology which integrates google 3D warehouse. SimioTM was designed to be used by advanced users of simulation as well as for beginners (Kelton et al 2010) A model is created by the combination of one or more objects that will represent the physical parts of a system. For example, the objects can be a machine, robot, ship, airplane, bus, etc. 32PDF Image | Impact of Vacuum-Drying on Efficiency of Hardwood Products
