A Robust Aggregation Approach To Simplification Of Manufacturing Flow Line Models, Paul Savory
A Robust Aggregation Approach To Simplification Of Manufacturing Flow Line Models, Paul Savory
Department of Industrial and Management Systems Engineering: Faculty Publications
One of the more difficult tasks facing a modeler in developing a simulation model of a discrete part manufacturing system is deciding at what level of abstraction to represent the resources of the system. For example, questions about plant capacity can be modeled with a simple model, whereas questions regarding the efficiency of different part scheduling rules can only be answered with a more detailed model. In developing a simulation model, most of the actual features of the system under study must be ignored and an abstraction must be developed. If done correctly, this idealization provides a useful approximation of …
