VFF COMPA Scenario
VFF COMPA design and optimization scenario
Heterogeneous planning tools
Certain planning steps are not optimally supported by tools
Redundant data throughout the activities
Simultaneous/collaborative planning using the same data is not possible
Deviation between simulation models and real factory operation
Limited re-use of experience from previous projects
Limited track of the project management and of the documents
Limited collaboration between functions involved in development
Weaknesses in the current activities
Gabriela Cândea
VFF COMPA design and optimization scenario
Time reduction to design a production line • Reduction of misunderstandings in the design
• Increase of 3D plant models utilization
• Reduction of number of drawings/models
Better assessment of KPIs • Better integration between modeling and simulation
• Increase the collaboration between different functions
Better interoperability between software tools • Reduction of mistakes
• Reduction of redundant manual data entering
• Reduction of errors from files manipulation

Why VFF?
VFF COMPA design and optimization scenario
Approach
• Optimized planning process based on the Virtual Factory Manager and newly
developed or attached functional modules
• Support for external (from customer) and internal requirements management
• Design and optimize the layout of manufacturing lines
• Evaluate the manufacturing lines using the discrete event simulation based on
the production sequence (from the dynamic side)
• Usage of best practices in order to re-use the knowledge from previous solutions

VFF COMPA design and optimization scenario
Improvement of planning performance (KPI: i.e. Planning time,
Planning effort)
• Integrated planning framework
• All planning tools use one single factory data model no redundancy
• Re-use of previous solutions (use of best practices )
• Reduction in the variety of technical implementations
Improvement of planning quality (KPI: i.e. Fulfillment of customer
requirements)
• Direct propagation of planning results to all other planning instances
• Increase the effectiveness of APQP and PPAP requirements compliance
• Increase of collaboration and communication between functions involved in
development
• An increase of management for documents/versions control
