Abstract
Simulation modelling can help managers understand the complexity of the interactions involved in manufacturing processes, from which they can derive strategies for improving systems and to plan for future design. If the limitations of the approach are considered and the required simulation skills are present, the technique can be a useful tool in the analysis of the complexity of modern manufacturing systems
