Complete line design and process modeling capabilities are available in Process Designer. Process engineers are able to model the process based on manufacturing resources that are captured in classified libraries. Required resources are dragged into the plan, and the sequence of manufacturing events can be checked for process bottlenecks and compared against actual throughput goals. Line balancing is also performed in this 3D environment by virtually aligning operations and stations to achieve an optimal production plan.
