Pallet Optimization and Throughput Estimation via Simulation

We describe a discrete-process simulation analysis of a production system at an automotive supply company. This simulation project was undertaken with the goals of demonstrating and confirming production rates of a manufacturing process based on a proposed design layout and operational data, and of identifying costeffective ways of improving the design to increase those production rates.
