Recognizing a clear need to make their current processes more efficient, while also considering expected future production volume increases, GKN Aerospace decided to conduct a pilot program using Plant Simulation in the Tecnomatix portfolio, which in turn is a part of the Xcelerator product family from Siemens Digital Industries Software. This led GKN Aerospace to believe that discrete event simulation would perfectly support the company’s different initiatives. The production complexity and the daily base decision making and created an opportunity for a simulation-based approach, to support a continuous improvement. GKN Aerospace Engines, a business line of GKN Aerospace, needed a better tool to plan and optimize their production process and production equipment investment, a tool that would aid in strategic planning, and handle real life complexity to accurately predict lead times and consider variation.
