Simulation of manufacturing systems
by Enio E. Velazco
International Journal of Continuing Engineering Education and Life-Long Learning (IJCEELL), Vol. 4, No. 1/2, 1994

Abstract: Computer simulation has been applied to manufacturing for about 35 years, and often found to be of immense value. Unfortunately most of these applications have been done by specialists, remote from, and not well understood by, industrial/manufacturing engineers and operations management professionals. This paper discusses the use of simulation to study the behaviour of manufacturing systems to determine the effect of operational parameters to optimise system performance. It also provides a recommended methodology for carrying out simulation studies and illustrates its use via a manufacturing process example.
