Global Mass Production vs Global Distributed Production
Dynamic Allocation of Production Orders (POs)
Production order inputs delivery location, spare part to be manufactured, quantity needed
The only thing being locally modeled seems to be production time
Travel Time from PC to Delivery Location is a request from an API
Seems like there should be a cost element here. Freight charges if delivery is outside the company. If manufacturing and delivery is local though, then maybe the only real cost is gas and that would indirectly included in the Travel Time calculation
Queue time should be something that’s monitored and can be looked up in a table
Set-up time should be something that’s considered a constant depending on the spare part
Implementation
FASTEN is a manufacturing software company
Not sure if this tool is used to feed simulated POs to the pipeline or if it’s used to optimize the objective function or both
Components in this project make sense to me but these arrows don’t all make sense to me
Benchmark
The null model was one where the PC with shortest distance from PC to delivery location was chosen every time
The metric was Average Wait Time to receive the spare part after being ordered
