SCDA - Simulation, Scheduling, Optimization, ERP

Start-up & shutdown production simulation

At Production Support 56, we specialise in process improvement and manufacturing simulation. We have modelled many production lines and generally find that when a line is up to speed that it is relatively efficient. The more fruitful opportunities to improve […]

Production scheduling in SAP ERP system

In this post I discuss production scheduling in SAP. I have documented production planning in SAP throughout a series of posts. In this post I specifically cover production scheduling in SAP. Important production schedules in SAP There are many production […]

AutoCAD 3D pyramid: Object, properties, API

In this post I provide an introduction to and documentation of the AutoCAD 3D pyramid object. This post is part of our AutoCAD automatization documentation that demonstrates successful implementation of APIs in VBA and also Python for AutoCAD automatization. You […]

Assembly line simulation and line balancing

This article covers assembly line process simulation and simulation-based line balancing. The simulation model is used for balancing lines and assembly processes. I implemented this tool with software packages that do not cost any license fees. In other publications on […]

End-to-end poultry supply chain simulation

It has been more than five years now that I graduated from university and entered the corporate world. Since then, I have dedicated most of my time to production and supply chain planning. Besides ERP-based model implementations, such as e.g. […]

A webshop for simulation developers

In this article I introduce my webshop for simulation model development experts. Being a simulation developer myself I have spent a lot of time developing simulation models from scratch. Sometimes I asked myself why no one has created a webshop […]

Numba speeds up monte-carlo simulation

In today’s post I will provide another example that shows how numba can speed up a numerical simulation. I apply the module to a monte-carlo simulation of stock price random walks. This is a popular monte-carlo simulation example and I […]

Faster Python simulations with Numba

An essential part of simulation modeling is simulation runtime. Large discrete-event simulation models and even medium-sized agent-based simulation models consume computational ressources and can have a very long runtime. This is especially true if the source code is fully written […]

Microsoft Dynamics 365 & Industry 4.0

In this article, I will introduce MS Dynamics 365 software and associated Microsoft software solutions. I will discuss the main responsibilities of MS Dynamics 365 as an Enterprise Ressource Planning software (ERP) and I will analyze its relations with Power BI […]

Conway’s game of life in Python

Another agent-based simulation example from my side! In this article I will implement Conway’s game of life in Python, using the agent-based modeling framework abm_framework. You can find the framework by clicking the link below. Link: https://github.com/LinnartSF/abm_framework Conway’s game of […]
