CASO DE ESTUDIOGestión de la Continuidad Operativa de una Planta de Bombeo 1. Antecedentes

Una empresa pública de abastecimiento de agua potable opera una estación de bombeo cuya misión es garantizar el suministro continuo de agua hacia una Reserva Operativa, desde donde posteriormente se distribuye el recurso a la ciudad.

La estación dispone de cinco bombas centrífugas instaladas en paralelo. Cada bomba posee una capacidad nominal de 100 L/s y forma parte de un sistema diseñado para asegurar la continuidad del servicio aun cuando alguna de ellas se encuentre fuera de operación.

La empresa realiza el mantenimiento preventivo siguiendo las recomendaciones establecidas por el fabricante de los equipos. Paralelamente, atiende las fallas mediante mantenimiento correctivo cuando estas ocurren.

Con el transcurso de los años, la empresa ha acumulado información técnica sobre la operación y el mantenimiento de las bombas. Sin embargo, los cambios periódicos en la administración hacen que parte de ese conocimiento no siempre se aproveche plenamente en la toma de decisiones.

La nueva gerencia desea comprender mejor el comportamiento del sistema antes de modificar cualquier política de operación o mantenimiento. Para ello solicita desarrollar un modelo de simulación que permita experimentar distintos escenarios sin intervenir la planta real.

This is a very crude first pass at looking at the impact of bank money creation on the money supply as well as transfer of money to the FIRES unproductive sector of the economy.

This simulation allows you to compare different approaches to influence flow, the Flow Times and the throughput of a work process.

By adjusting the sliders below you can

observe the work process without any work in process limitations (WIP Limits),
with process step specific WIP Limits* (work state WIP limits),
or you may want to see the impact of the Tameflow approach with Kanban Token and Replenishment Token
or see the impact of the Drum-Buffer-Rope** method.

* Well know in (agile) Kanban

** Known in the physical world of factory production

The "Tameflow approach" using Kanban Token and Replenishment Token as well as the Drum-Buffer-Rope method take oth the Constraint (the weakest link of the work process) into consideration when pulling in new work items into the delivery "system".

You can also simulate the effects of PUSH instead of PULL.

Feel free to play around and recognize the different effects of work scheduling methods.

The work flow itself

Look at the simulation as if you would look on a kanban board.

The simulation mimics a "typical" software delivery process.

From left to right you find the following ten process steps.
