We have engaged ProcSim in a Warehouse transformation Project aimed at optimizing the efficiency of the warehouse processes. Through a simulation model of automation for put away, replenishment and staging products, ProcSim has helped us to better understand the nature of constraints we are facing today mainly at the End of Lines with pre-call and queueing of vehicles. During second step of the simulation, they have analyzed our future layout developed by the Design Team and three alternative automation solutions’ suppliers. They built some custom logic into the model to analyze the error rate of vehicles and the mean time to repair errors to understand how many vehicles are needed to run the system. Results of the different scenarios assisted in understanding the changes that need to be made to the layout and design of the automation system within the warehouse.
Our collaboration with ProcSim started few years ago in the area manufacturing flows simulation, and we have been always pleased with the level of professionalism and tangible business value Procsim team brings to us. In addition, we highly appreciate the agility of ProcSim to respond in an effective way to our various requests. In Nestlé, we consider ProcSim a key partner of our Digital manufacturing.
