![]() Siemens PLM Software‘s Plant Simulation, part of the company’s Tecnomatix suite, belongs to this class. To faithfully create, record, and play out the interlocking operations of a manufacturing plant inside a computer, you may need a new class of software. The variations in these entities-the different rates at which they break down, the workers’ availability and shifts, and their per-hour throughput, to name but a few-quickly add up to a complex formula, no longer easily expressed in a spreadsheet or a flowchart. ![]() Mapping out the material flows from the dispensary to multiple processing machines, workstations, assembly points, and packing stations would require a lot more. But typical manufacturing sites are much more complex. For a simple plant setup-for example, a single point of material dispensation (a candy dropper), interrupted by a processing machine (a boxing machine), ending with a shipping station-a spreadsheet and a flowchart may be quite adequate.
