MANUFACTURING PROCESS 2EnablersPhysical (Hard) EnablersComputer aided design is also used to enhance flexibility in production by making the design and generating prototypes that are then analyzed through simulation and adjustments made using the FlexSIM software application. The software package has standard objects in its library with pre-built logic as well as task executions that imitate resources and operations in realworld manufacturing operations. The objects are programmed and defined into classes with logictools for building, hence little or no computer code can be used to accurately model the system. The drag and drop controls are easy to use and prototyping enables production processes and scheduled to made to attain maximum efficiency. Every section had a unique code assigned to it and feedback monitored through created labels for each type of item. With FlexSIM, each and every process can be simulated, analyzed, and adjustments made for higher efficienciesLogical (Soft) EnablersLogical features including adaptable and flexible scheduling and process plans, along with group technology and hybrid manufacturing approach were incorporated in the production scheduling system. Standard tasks are automated, while tasks that can be highly variable, such asinspection and testing of the finished product is done manually using human labor (Jha, 2012). Grouping technology alone is insufficient, so the process was enhanced using adaptable and flexible process plans so that different item sizes or materials can be produced using the same overall process plan. Using parallel process plans, especially the initial steps, enabled flexible routing and scheduling that optimizes resources and minimizes wastages (Beier et al, 2017). Thehybrid production process will ensure capacity can be scaled up and down easily. The processes are also flexible, as shown by Fig II in which several tasks are undertaken concurrently, to enableflexible processes, some can be done after or before others, without affecting quality or output (‘International Conference on Hybrid Artificial Intelligence Systems’, 2009). FlexSIM The software package has the great advantage of enabling simulation: this helps the production engineer/ designer have different perspectives on the best production processes and
