Integrated sizing support system using simulation and design of experiments

In recent decades designing, redesigning and resizing production system become important step to respond to the reduction of product life cycles in some hightech manufacturing industries such as automotive or computer industry. Classical approach of designing the production system from scratch with only global information about its exploitation phase is not adapted. We propose an original sizing and design aided method using simulation and design of experiments. An automotive study case is presented to illustrate the application of our method. We present the obtained results and outputs of our application to explain the contribution and the relevance of our sizing support system.
