Table 8-12: Summary of ALS Utilisation ... In PAGE 80: ... There is a difference between the modelled Pre-stop and one in the LAL. This is summarised in Table8 -13: ... In PAGE 81: ...70 Table8 -13: LAL and Simulation Pre-stop disparity Scenario Simulated Pre-Stop Logic LAL Pre-stop Behaviour Operation idle Operation Idle No free space in output buffer no consideration of buffer status Part will not enter element Part enters element Element cycle complete Element cycle complete Free space in output buffer Free space in output buffer No part at Pre-stop No consideration of Pre-stop Element holds part Element releases part 1 2 The consequence of scenario 1 in the simulation is an operation can remain idle and empty if there is a Part waiting on the Pre-stop and the buffer is full. This potentially means that, during a breakdown situation in a preceding operation, it could wait empty.... In PAGE 83: ....2.3 Analysis of Current Methodology Acquiring knowledge of the current simulation methodology from previous projects with Ford Motor Company (Arguedas et al., 2006), meetings with stakeholders and observations of the simulation enable the completion of the SWOT analysis shown in Table8 -14: Strengths Weaknesses FAST allows quick data change.
