Analysis of Conveyor Systems within Automotive Final Assembly

This study describes an application of discrete-process simulation to a final assembly process within the automotive industry. The study addressed the issues of whether the process design would meet production quotas, assessing the process flow times within the proposed system, verifying and improving the design of the conveyor system, and identifying and removing potential bottlenecks in the system. All these issues required resolution within a context more complex than that of a straightforward "single input
