Research on Logistics Simulation and Optimization of Die Forging Production Line Based on Flexsim

Abstract Long forging production cycle and low equipment utilization are the important problems currently facing domestic die forging ring production lines. To solve this problem, a simulation optimization method for die forging production line based on Flexsim was proposed. Firstly, the ECRS theory method was used to analyze the bottleneck process of the production line. Then, built a logistics simulation model of die forging production line based on Flexsim, The parallel and cycle processing steps was set reasonable parameters and simulated. Next, through logic analysis, methods such as adding processing equipment, improving equipment efficiency and balancing equipment handling tasks were used to optimize and improve the production line. Finally, compared and analyzed the original and optimized model. The simulation results show that the optimized production line equipment task allocation tends to be rationalized, the equipment utilization rate is increased by 4.34%, and the product cycle time is reduced by 27.65%, and optimized planning and design are achieved.
