Modeling and Simulation of Industrial Processes = Modelado y simulación de procesos industriales

This paper presents a didactic methodology applied to engineering studies. From the use of digital tools, a methodology is developed to model and simulate an industrial manufacturing process. The methodology begins with the analysis of the manufacturing process, so the students carry out an analytical approach to the modeling of the analyzed production system. Next, a digital tool is used to model said system based on the previously analyzed parameters. With the simulation of the model, engineering students analyze the results of specific times and costs of each process and product. Based on these, improvement proposal are presented to optimize the process that are modelling and simulated again to check the efficiency and benefit of the proposed improvements in the process. With this methodology, engineering students are introduced to a scalable context of real industry for safe improvements, while developing skills in digital tools and processes engineering.
