Group Simulation & Data Analysis: Report Writing Assignment

Internal Code: MAS1770

Report Writing Assignment:

Task: Each group must select a unique video. To ensure it is unique, you must place the link to your video in the google sheet in the google drive. First in best dressed. Click the link below to access the sheet, add the name of your group to your line, and the YouTube link to the video you want me to watch for your assignment https://docs.google.com/a/rmit.edu.au/spreadsheets/d/18rZR-EpPlthdfAYmH SW4bqclQ_cX9KNDKPsp_ScaSFU/edit?usp=sharing The ‘assembly’ process should be about 1 min in length You may make your own video and upload it to YouTube if you wish (that will ensure your group is unique). A video of assembling a bike, or maintaining a motorbike etc. is OK but make sure there is about 1 minute in length of ‘assembly or manufacturing’ You are looking to optimise the assembly or manufacturing process, so you need to record all the elements that are important Examples include, the amount of labour in quantity and baffle plates, the tools used, the amount of movement of the operators or machines, the amount of Work In Progress (WIP) the number of steps etc. etc. etc. Your report needs to include a basic diagram of the process and record of the key elements, this is what you need to provide to the model once it is built. This forms the datum, ie. what you will measure optimisation against. Again, there are lots of software packages that do this automatically for you. You need to use Matlab to encourage you to think more deeply about why the software needs information, what information you get back from the simulation and that many processes can be represented very simply without the need for expensive simulation tools. Most of the assignment marks are for the report, but, you need to use Matlab as well. Below are some examples that you can use to help you. There is no one right answer, use Matlab which ever way represents your production system. There are lots more examples that show you how to use Matlab to model a production process http://au.mathworks.com/videos/discrete-event-simulation-with-simevents-68923.html?form_seq= http://au.mathworks.com/videos/model-a-discrete-event-system-overview-1-of-7-81124.html http://au.mathworks.com/videos/production-simulation-software-for-manufacturing-68930.html http://au.mathworks.com/videos/operations-research-and-optimization-of-discrete-event-simulation-81871.html?form_seq=conf1050&elqsid=1475129226242&potential_use=Education&country_code=AU
