Abstract
This paper presents a case study on the use of simulation to develop and implement an assembly line for the assembly and test of customer located telephony equipment. The simulation model was used as a tool to assist in development and integration of the assembly and test processes with a focus on capacity, material flow optimization, and equipment layout. The authors discuss how the model affected the facilities layout, equipment specifications, and material flow
