Floor Simulator

Machines, people and flow time for a production line at any rate. Starts simple; turn on detail when you need it.

Best for: Sizing a whole line at a rate: machines, people, Max rate and flow time, simple first, with a live 2D and 3D floor.

Overview: 11 machines, 36 people, Max 41.0 units/month, 10.2 days to ship, and each work center's Max.

1 / 10Overview: 11 machines, 36 people, Max 41.0 units/month, 10.2 days to ship, and each work center's Max.

Overview: 11 machines, 36 people, Max 41.0 units/month, 10.2 days to ship, and each work center's Max. Live 3D floor: carts and operators moving at 5x, every work center flagged Tight or OK. Ramp Plan: the operators, shifts, stations and equipment to add each month to reach 120 units/month. Live 2D floor: work, material and the 60 min Final Loop moving, 22 units shipped by Day 12. Across Rates: 28 pieces of equipment and 36 people at 40 units/month, and how both climb to 160. Value Stream: 10.2 days start to ship, 38% value add, and Final Assembly opened with its C/T math. Station Balance: Final Assembly against 3.9 hrs takt, and the 1 op move that lifts it to 41.9 units/month. Improve: a Try puts Final Assembly on 2 shifts; Max goes up to 42.7 and the limit moves to Housing Sub-Assy. Walk mode: stand at a Final Assembly station and see its 58% load at the 3.9 hrs takt. Start a Line: 7 rows typed, and 40 a month takes 5 machines, 4 test stands, 17 stations and 26 people.

Features

What It Does

Type your work centers, their hrs and a rate. The Overview shows the machines, people, Max rate and flow time it takes, and the next step to try. Everything that adds complexity is a switch you turn on: operations, parts, shifts by work center, setups, yield, moves, floor space. Click any figure for its math, one line at a time. Live 2D and 3D floor and a value stream view. One HTML file that runs offline in Chrome or Edge and never touches the network.

Starts simple

Work centers, hrs and a rate. The sample and a new line open with every switch off.

Switches

26 switches under Machines, People, Work Content, Parts, Speed of Material, Limits and Time. Off leaves a feature out of the math; your values wait in the file.

Overview

Machines, people, Max rate and flow time on one card, with the next step to try.

Math on click

Click a figure for its math, one line at a time. Type an input where it shows and see what moved.

Ramp plan

Month by month to a target rate: what to add at each work center, and by when.

Value stream view

The line as a map, start to ship. Click a box for its figures.

Station balance

Station load against takt, with the op move that lifts the rate.

Try it first

Try a second shift, a station or a new rate and see what moved before you keep it.

Live 2D and 3D floor

Turn on Floor Space and every area draws to scale, with work and material moving. Iso, top, front, and walk views.

Model files

.floorsim files you keep. Offline, no account, no network.
