A strategy simulation where downtime, changeovers, and flow actually matter.

Visualizing Availability × Performance × Quality in real time.


How to use this simulator:


Overview

The plant runs continuously from Raw Sugar → Cooker → Tumblers → Packaging

Each truck requires 100% completion of all SKUs

Packaging jams, changeovers, and downtime are intentionally unavoidable — your job is to manage them


Key Player Controls

Start / Pause / Reset — control the simulation clock

Packaging lines (Toggle / Clear) — turn lines on/off and recover from jams

Changeover — advance to the next scheduled SKU on each tumbler


What to Watch

Packaging jams drive downtime and force overflow usage

Overflow lines automatically activate when capacity is threatened

Tumbler shutdowns trigger product diversion or stop the cooker entirely

KPIs update live to show throughput, downtime cost, truck performance, and confidence


Win Condition

A truck loads and departs once all SKUs reach 100%.
Run as many trucks as you want — performance is tracked across shipments.
