For resource related concerns, we can utilise following techniques and estimations: 1. Accurate estimation of Critical path for project which give idea about actual priorities and LLI items 2. Evaluate if any activity has float in schedule and decide resource utilisation as per Network model 3. Utilise resource levelling to avoid extending schedule 4. Utilise resource smoothing to allow extending schedule 5. Use fast tracking and try to cut down on activity durations. This will involve involving additional contractors. 6. Prepare resource utilisation chart at start of project to plan forecast of resources.

Simulation models can be a game-changer when we are facing resource constraints in manufacturing. Here's how we can leverage them to optimize processes: 1. Identify bottlenecks : By modeling Pinpoint resources bottleneck allows you to focus on area that you need to improve. 2. Test scenarios 3. Optimize resource allocation 4. Streamline processes 5. Capacity planning 6. Training and education 7. Risk analysis By leveraging simulation models, we can unlock the following benefits: - Operational Excellence - Resource Optimization - Process Innovation - Training and Development - Business Case Development These benefits can lead to significant improvements in overall manufacturing performance, reduced costs, and increased competitiveness.

Simulation models allow you to optimize manufacturing processes under resource constraints by testing different scenarios virtually. By simulating production workflows, material usage, and machine efficiency, you can identify bottlenecks, minimize waste, and improve resource allocation without disrupting actual operations. This approach enables you to forecast outcomes, reduce costs, and enhance decision-making, ultimately maximizing productivity and sustainability despite limited resources.
