MRP Simulation with Simulink - BOM explosion

11 次查看(过去 30 天)

I study supply chain and manufacturing processes. My target is to create a simulation in Simulink starting from a Sales Order, ending with the Delivery, and showcasing the Materials Requirement Process :

  1. Sales Order (SO), requiring n
  2. Products (PR) in Inventory (IN), and if not enough stock available, generate either a
  3. Manufacturing Order (MO) to produce the Product (PR) if sourced internally, or a
  4. Purchase Order (PO) if the Product is sourced externally.
  5. The Product is made of Components linked together through of a Bill of Materials (BOM).
  6. a BOM is an array of qty of Products. Again, if not enough available, generate a MO or a PO
  • The BOM can be multi-level and forms in that case a directed graph (DAG)

I have started with Simulink and the SimEvents Library. Basically, I generate an Entity for the SO, check if stock is available, and if not, check if sourced internally, and ... here I need to "read" the BOM of the Product, to further check availability, etc. This is a recursive process, ending when the leaf has enough stock OR the Product is sourced externally and a PO is created.

I went through the article for_each_subsystem but could not implement it correctly in my use case.

I also tried to query a database to fetch the BOM on demand. This works in Matlab, but not in a Simulink function.

If possible, I would like to create a subsystem for each Product or Component in the multi-level BOM, in order to simulate a flow of n-Customer Orders, and measure the impact on the inventory values, the stress at the internal Assembly departments, etc.

Do you have experience to share with me in that field ? Which blocks would you use to model that situation (especially the BOM explosion). Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello, I start to study the same, and I am lookig for a methodology or something. Have you solved the problem already?
