Özet
There may be more than one element affecting quality and efficiency in the manufacturing organizations. As a result of multiple elements occurring at the same time, permanent losses occur in final production and quality. Both the customer sense of trust and their satisfaction are negatively affected because of those problems. Failure to achieve targeted levels of quality and productivity in the organization reduces customer satisfaction. Quality and productivity in the organization are affected by inefficiency in resource utilization, bottlenecks in the production and inefficient workflow design within the organization. This study aims to improve production process in a manufacturer of air operated diaphragm pumps by simulation analysis. Most efficient way of utilizing raw materials, manpower, vehicles and equipment is sought by simulation based process improvement. Discrete-event simulation software (Arena) is used to detect problems in the production process such as: transportation, blockage and/or layout. Simulation is used to experiment with process improvement approaches without making changes in the real-world production system. Simulation models of the current state and the proposed future state with improvements to the layout of the production system are created. The results from the models were compared with each other and evaluations were made. The future state simulation model utilizes existing resources for process improvement, without the requirement for additional resource acquisition. Comparison of current state model and future state model simulation output data, suggests a 67% increase in the number of products produced per month. It is foreseen that this increase can greatly affect the operational efficiency and future managerial decisions, and suggestions are made for future works.

There may be more than one element affecting quality and efficiency in the manufacturing organizations. As a result of multiple elements occurring at the same time, permanent losses occur in final production and quality.

Failure to achieve targeted levels of quality and productivity in the organization reduces customer satisfaction. Quality and productivity in the organization are affected by inefficiency in resource utilization, bottlenecks in the production and inefficient workflow design within the organization. This study aims to improve production process in a manufacturer of air operated diaphragm pumps by simulation analysis. Most efficient way of utilizing raw materials, manpower, vehicles and equipment is sought by simulation based process improvement. Discrete-event simulation software (Arena) is used to detect problems in the production process such as: transportation, blockage and/or layout. Simulation is used to experiment with process improvement approaches without making changes in the real-world production system. Simulation models of the current state and the proposed future state with improvements to the layout of the production system are created.

The future state simulation model utilizes existing resources for process improvement, without the requirement for additional resource acquisition.
