Abstract :
This tutorial introduces manufacturing applications of simulation through three illustrative example applications. These examples illustrate the additional understanding of system behavior gained by the use of simulation models. Individuals using simulation should use a structured process in applying simulation. The second example illustrates this structured process. The examples also illustrate the use of both stochastic and deterministic variables in modeling manufacturing systems
