PFEP database for improved traceability

In this article I will discuss the role that traceability plays in logistics optimization. I will introduce the characteristics and usefulness of Plan For Every Part (PFEP database). Lastly, I will analyze the relationship between lean operations management, traceability, logistics, […]

Crane yard simulation in AnyLogic

This blog post describes a simple crane yard simulation in AnyLogic. I developed this model in AnyLogic for demonstration purposes. I have already published a series of blog posts on simulation modeling in AnyLogic. Below is a list of some […]

Conveyor routing simulation in AnyLogic

Having introduced AnyLogic with various smaller examples on this blog I here post a summary of a simulation model example published on The AnyLogic Modeler. I show how AnyLogic can be used for assessing conveyor layout variants. You can find […]

Manufacturing simulation for plant design

In this article I present a case study demonstrating the application of manufacturing simulation for plant design. In fact, the best time to optimise a new manufacturing plant is in the design phase. There are no costly equipment modifications, no […]

Conveyor system optimization procedure

I want to show how you can optimize a conveyor system with a combination of mathematical modeling and discrete-event simulation (DES). This is an addition to the rich variety of conveyor optimization examples available in industry. However, as I will […]

DimAligned object in AutoCAD using Python

In this article I introduce DimAligned object in AutoCAD with Python. In general, adding dimensions manually is a very tedious task that I can avoid if I use Python automatization instead. For this tutorial I am using the pyautocad module […]

AutoCAD Attribute object in Python

In my previous article I discussed AutoCAD Block objects and other related objects related to the AutoCAD Block class. In that article I also briefly introduced Block atrributes. Now, in this article, I mainly focus on the AutoCAD Attribute class. […]

AutoCAD Block object in Python

In this article I elaborate on Block objects in AutoCAD and how working with them can be automatized using Python. Although for this practical example I am using the pyautocad library I can also use pythoncom. I have explained how […]

AGV simulation of part routings in AnyLogic

In this article I present a simple AGV simulation model. It is meant as an example on how to simulate part routings in a factory. I implemented the simulation in AnyLogic. I have provided some other basic introductions to AnyLogic […]

AutoCAD Document object in pyautocad

In my previous article I discussed the AutoCAD Application object class. The most important part of any AutoCAD application is the Document object. This is because users perform all their actions on this Document object. Consequently, I am writing this […]
