Manufacturing

Location

Rayong, Thailand

Work Type

On-site

• Design and build simulation models representing planned material flow processes and equipment layouts within the plant.

• Translate part-level logistics data (packaging, quantities, delivery frequency, handling requirements from PFEP) into accurate simulation inputs.

• Analyze simulation outputs to identify bottlenecks, capacity constraints, or design risks prior to implementation.

• Develop simulations for automated material handling systems, including AGVs and AMRs,

• Prepare and present clear reports summarizing results, issues, and recommendations to Planning Engineers and other requested stakeholders.

• Collaborate with cross-functional planning and logistics teams (Plant MFE, Study teams) to validate that simulation results align with real-world plant requirements.
