Aplicação da simulação computacional com o uso do software flexsim em uma célula de testes funcionais de placas eletrônicas

Abstract

Computational simulation has established itself as a powerful decision-making tool, although it is still not widely known by many companies. In this work, the FlexSim software was used to simulate and model the process of a functional testing cell for electronic boards in an electronics components company located in Manaus-AM. The goal was to simulate different production scenarios to optimize the analyzed process. The research method adopted was modeling and simulation, enabling the representation of the current testing process while input data for the model were collected. Subsequently, it was possible to construct the computational model, validated based on the units produced per hour in the real process. With the validated model, three scenarios were created, considering parameters such as the reduction of fixtures, the elimination of the BIOS step, and the execution of some tests in parallel. Among these scenarios, the most viable proved to be the one in which the tests were performed in parallel.
