Our schedule begins in the week of October 10th. This is because we did not complete our site visit until October 6th. After our site visit, we were able to get a better grasp on the project and how long it would take us to complete each step of the project. We set aside two weeks at the beginning of the project to sort and analyze the data that was handed over to us from Lockheed Martin. We also began to concurrently work on the model. The reason why this is one of the largest time slots is because it includes reviewing and learning Simio. After the baseline model was created, two weeks were planned to work on adding the complexities to the model and another week was planned to work on adding the soft station to the model. During this last

Each scenario was run with 20 replications to account for the variability within the model. We averaged the maximum cumulative square footage for each month from all the replications for each scenario and analyzed a total of 27 data tables for this project. Each variant has multiple data tables and graphs based on the part type: loose parts, individual dollies, and totes. Each of these variants and part types has data for each of the three delivery rules: delivery on the first day of the station, delivering parts two days before the station starts, and delivering parts three days before their scheduled installation.
These graphs provide a visual representation of the maximum square footage required for staging parts at any point in time over the course of the four year production rate transition. These graphs include a line that represents the total available space of one part rack at 80 percent capacity. This line will show at what point in time the required space exceeds the current amount of available space, by how much, and during what takt span this occurs.
8.1 Totes Space Requirements Analysis
Figure x shows the totes space requirements for the A variant plane. The results for the A variant totes space requirements indicate delivery rule one would only require one part rack. Rule two would require two parts racks starting in takt three and rule three requires two
