SummarySIMOGGA LD is a graphical material handling system that allows engineers to optimise a factory layout based on a global flow analysis using few amount of data.
This analysis takes into account the product information (batches size, setup time, process) and the machine characteristics (capacity, capabilities) to evaluate material flow distances, charge on machines. By regrouping the production of different parts into clusters, the management of the manufacturing is reduced to manage different small entities. Those entities are called cells; they are designed using Cellular Manufacturing methods and they represent a cluster of machines that can be dedicated to the production of one part or a family of parts. SIMOGGA relies on 10 years of intensive research in cooperation with major manufacturers. In addition we developed an intelligent user interface (SIMOGGA LD), easy to use needing few data before delivering first results. It guides the user through the process of improvement, but does not replace him/her. It feeds on the knowledge and experience collected with both plant managers and operators. SIMOGGA LD - the business valueAs a manufacturer, you are under intense pressure from the increasingly competitive global marketplace. You should deliver parts to customers on time while maintaining low production costs and high quality.
Your manufacturing systems should quickly adjust or respond to changes in part design and part demand without major investment.

What are the advantages?
We work on 3 axes:
Major featuresTo achieve its objectives, the interface of SIMOGGA was built using two views
The diagram view A "diagram view" permits to get rid of all the technical constraints of your plant.
This view allows you to define the geometric characteristics of your machines and build the ideal layout based solely on a displacements reduction. The user can split the flows by duplicating the machines during the simulations and evaluate associated gains. Based on the ideal solution created with the "diagram view", the user may construct new factory layouts. |
The factory view A "factory view" displays your actual or future layout under various constraints like the limits of the factory. E.g. walls, walkways, corridors or immovable machinery.
Based on those constraints you can evaluate your key performance indicators like the gains, the distance and the amount of parts displacements. 
SIMOGGA(tm) Graphical User Interface - Design view
A Graphical tool easy to use Use a powerful, easy to use, graphical tool allowing you to build your constraints based on the plant drawing.
Benchmark your as-is situation against alternative factory layouts. Construct new factory layouts based on an ideal solution and then refine it to match your constraints. |
Apply optimisation methods to improve the factory layout.
Be guided during the creation of the solution by modifying elements that can improve your traffic like changing the size of your departments or aisles, the machines orientation... You can access the following features:
The optimisationsSIMOGGA optimises functional layouts by converting them into working cells.
SIMOGGA demonstrates its effectiveness for any type of encountered layout (functional layout, job-shop, process layout) |
