Abstract

This research project, entitled “Optimization with a Design and Simulation Approach in the Idealization of the Packaging Process,” aimed to optimize the packaging system of a ceramics company. To this end, concurrent engineering methodology was applied to redesign cubing processes focused on improving the efficiency, safety, and sustainability of ceramic product transportation.

Additionally, an automated Excel tool linked to SolidWorks 2024 was also developed, which allows for the generation of customized packaging from a base file. This automation has reduced errors, standardized processes, and decreased dependence on the engineering department, directly benefiting departments such as export, purchasing, and production.
