Job details:
- a. Process & Material Flow Data Collection: Review and understand existing plant layout, material flow processes from 3PL Warehouse, to Ather Dock in to Dock out including receiving, Putaway, Decanting, Kitting, Line Side Issuance, Replenishment/ Milk Runs, cycle times for these processes, buffer capacities, and material routing across Assembly and Sub Assembly lines.
- b. 3D / Discrete-Event Simulation Modeling: Prepare, build, and configure dynamic material flow simulation models using simulation software tools such as FlexSim, Simulink, (Siemens Plant Simulation).
- c. Simulation Execution & Scenario Analysis: Run discrete-event simulations to analyze line balancing, identify bottlenecks, evaluate AGV/forklift/operator utilization, assess material handling efficiency, and optimize buffer sizes for Processes.
- d. Gemba Exposure & Model Parameter Validation: Conduct regular/ frequent visits to the shop floor (Gemba) to physically verify layout, material flow paths, footprints, operator movement, and cycle times against simulation model parameters.
- e. Cross-Functional Optimization & Reporting: Collaborate with Ather’s Industrial Engineering (IE) and shop-floor operations teams to validate observed process variations, review simulation scenario results, and present data-backed recommendations for material flow optimization.
- a. Verified Simulation Models: Fully functional, baseline-validated simulation models (built in FlexSim, Simulink representing Ather Energy's material flow and manufacturing zones.
- b. Material Flow & Bottleneck Analysis Reports: Detailed quantitative reports highlighting throughput constraints, line balancing efficiency, equipment/operator utilization, and buffer optimization across 3PL to Ather Plant (End to End)
- c. Scenario & Sensitivity Comparison Studies: Comparative evaluation of "What-If" operational scenarios (e.g., volume ramp-up, layout modifications, routing changes) with actionable throughput improvement recommendations.
- d. Gemba Parameter Validation Log: Documented audit log comparing simulation parameters, cycle times, and material handling logic against actual shop-floor operational data.
- e. Final Simulation Presentation & Model Documentation: Executive presentation of simulation findings and standard operating documentation for future model maintenance and expansion.
