Abstract

Presents the development of a detailed simulation model of some main processes in a pharmaceutical products plant involved in deep structural changes due to the merge of different new company activities. Implementing an object oriented simulation methodology called LeanSim, specially designed to create models for manufacturing and logistics systems, a wide set of new software technology tools have been included to create, validate and evaluate different simulation scenarios
