Abstract :
This paper describes an Arena-based operator-paced assembly line simulation model. Besides the normal flow of assembly units between work cells, the model considers both the movement of operators between cells and intermittent duties, such as equipment repair and material stocking. Simulation results are presented for a 4-cell test case.
