Optimization of the Production Processes of Trial Tires at a Tire-producing Company with the Simulation Technique

Meeting the market demand and customer expectations on time entails the continuous and regular monitoring and development of processes. To perform the production faster, more productively, and on time when producing a product, it is important to determine in what order and when it will be processed at the available machines. Today thousands of people are employed in the tire sector, and great sources are allocated for R & D activities. Our country is one of the most important countries in the world in terms of the automotive and subsidiary industrial sectors. Many international tire brands carry on their manufacturing and research & development activities in our country. A tire-producing company carries out trial production called “trial tires” in conformity with the quality standards set by the quality department before putting a new product on the market. In this study, the production processes of trial tires are improved by the help of simulation and it is aimed to increase the production quantities.
