Procter and Gamble Validates and Optimizes Manufacturing Systems Virtually
One of the challenges that Procter and Gamble (P&G) faces is the complexity of their products – all the different flavors, colors and variations. Mix-model environments like this are difficult to plan without the ability to understand what the operations will look like prior to production ramp-up.
P&G used a variety of manufacturing simulation tools from different vendors in the past. However, in 2006 they chose the Tecnomatix Plant Design and Optimization solution to help minimize production losses and improve the efficiency of their manufacturing systems.
Benefits:
- Millions of dollars in global cost savings
- Greater confidence in new facility designs
- Optimized material handling, logistics and indirect labor
