Physical and Virtual Simulation and Learning Management System

By studying and modeling of current production process, a physical training assembly system is built in a small scale with the exact same process, tooling as the full scale one. Along with leaning management system constructed, which includes a set of multi-media training materials, new employees can get familiarized with the manufacturing process in a shorter frame compared to traditional training. Also, by implementing what-if analysis, results from this physical simulation can be used to study and improve current full size production process. Hence, this project will benefit Durabuilt with enhancement in employee productivity and talent retention as well as product and process improvement.
