Case Study on Simulation Analysis of a Multiple Product Manufacturing System

The paper presents a case study on simulation modelling and analysis of a real production line operating in an electronics company. Simulation technique is applied to analyse the existing manufacturing system and detect factors with significant impact on its capacity. The analysis aims to improve the allocation of available production resources to maximize the average capacity of the system. A full factorial design has been applied as a simulation analysis tool. Then, a new system design is proposed to enhance the overall performance and is verified using a simulation model. The simulation system WITNESS has been used to complete this study.
