Description
This project addresses the challenge of optimizing a highly labor-intensive manufacturing process for GTM systems at M2X Energy, where welding and pipe fabrication dominate both cycle time and total hours. Traditional spreadsheet-based analysis lacks the ability to capture dynamic interactions between resources, workflows, and constraints. Using FlexSim software, we built a discrete-event simulation of the factory to model real-world operations, identify bottlenecks, and make accurate process decisions based on data. Combined with design inputs such as weld reduction strategies, this approach enables data-driven decisions to reduce manufacturing hours, improve throughput, and support scalable factory and product design.
