“…Stages I, II, and III were performed in the assembly line structured in the Learning Factory. Plant simulation software was adopted in this study as the virtual modeling environment used in Stage V. The plant simulation system, which uses a discrete event-based framework for dynamic process modeling, has been widely applied in the production environment as presented in Owida Byrne, Heavey, Blake, and El-Kilany (2016).…”

Objective: The aim of this article is to analyze the influence of the variability of the standard time in the simulation of the assembly operations of manufacturing systems. Background: Discrete event simulation (DES) has been used to provide efficient analysis during the design of a process or scenario. However, the modeling activities of new configurations face the problem of data availability and reliability when it comes to seeking standard times that are effective in representing the actual process under analysis, especially when the process cannot be monitored. Method: The methods-time measurement (MTM) is used as a source of standard times for simulation. Assembly activities were performed at a Learning Factory facility, which provided the necessary structure for simulating real production processes. Simulation performances using different variability of standard times were analyzed to define the impact of data characteristics. Results: The MTM standard time presented an error of approximately 5%. The definition of the data variability of standard times and the statistical distribution impacts were shown in the simulation results, with errors above 6% being observed, interfering with the model reliability. Conclusion: Based on the study, to increase the adherence of a simulation to represent a real process, it is recommended to use triangular distributions with central values greater than those established via the MTM for the representation of the standard times of new assembly processes or scenarios using DES. Application: The study contributions can be applied in assembly line design, providing a reliable model representing real processes and scenarios.

Process mining allows the discovery, monitoring, and improvement of processes through records of their executions. When used for discovery, models depicting the process behavior can be obtained and then analyzed through a performance perspective, focusing on performance indicators for the dimension of interest. In process mining, there has been scarce research on the analysis of some dimensions, such as the cost dimension. A systematic literature review has been conducted to identify the methods used for analyzing the cost dimension in process mining and other process-oriented disciplines, the dimensions considered jointly with costs, and how such a joint analysis is carried out. The review identified 68 publications. The results indicate ample research within distinct disciplines, like business process management and cost management, regarding the costs of performing processes, their reporting and forecasting. However, there is a need to further enrich their visualization and analysis, and to provide cost-aware operational support. Moreover, the utility of further researching cost analysis jointly with other dimensions, like time, flexibility, and quality, is also observed. These results provide a structured focal point of research that can be considered when analyzing costs from a process perspective and the identification of research gaps within this domain.

“…This model assumes no sequential process changes. This approach aims to conduct several experiments to evaluate system performance (Owida et al, 2016) and increase system productivity (Kampa et al, 2017). This approach's implementation can be used for industrial services related to queuing processes such as bank tellers where the number of customers queuing changes discretely, determining the amount of inventory in warehouses and determining cycle times in supply chain strategies.…”

“…Furthermore, the need for added value analysis of cowhide products is related to the product's processing time to carry out production activities. Researchers measured the production system's performance based on time variables by implementing a discrete event simulation approach (Kampa, Gołda & Paprocka, 2017;Owida, Byrne, Heavey, Blake & El-Kilany, 2016). Thus, this study's problem is focused on determining the business unit utilization of added value for food products in the supply chain of the distribution channel in Indonesia.…”

Purpose: The Supply chain channel serves to strengthen positioning in competing to serve customers. This study examines the business unit in the supply chain channel in producing food products from Cowhide in Indonesia. There are many business units with high demand for rawhides from cattle for use as food products. Thus, this opportunity is utilized to increase the productivity of business units in Indonesia. This study aims to determine the business unit utilization in the supply chain channel by considering patterns of business processes, value-added products, and optimal supply chain strategies.Design/methodology/approach: The study interviews 18 business units of Cowhide in Indonesia, including two slaughterhouses, five cattle owners, three restaurants, two cowhide drying business units, one cowhide cracker business unit, three cowhide traders’ traditional markets, one cowhide boiler business unit, and one retail shop. The SCOR model, Hayami, and discrete event simulation are integrated to analyze business unit utilization in Cowhide's food products' supply chain channel.Findings: There are five supply chain channels from 7 business units in food products. Then, the highest value-added product ratio was the cowhide cracker business unit at 31%. Finally, Channel 1 is the highest utilization rate of 40%. Moreover, the policymaker can study non-food products to compare cowhide raw materials' business unit utilization because Indonesia has many of these raw materials and is easy to obtain.Research limitations/implications: Further study is suggested to measure each business unit's performance in the supply chain channel and then strengthen institutions to increase productivity.Originality/value: This study needs to measure each business unit's performance in strengthening its supply chain strategy to optimize the supply chain channel. This study's implication can contribute to business units in improving their business processes and stakeholders in the decision-making process, including associations, communities, cooperatives, and the Government, in increasing the potential for economic growth on SMEs in especially of Cowhide.
