The Role of Discrete Event Simulation for Assembly Planning: A Concept for a Decision Support System

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Assembly lines can be very complex and their performance directly determine the output, efficiency and margin. Discrete event simulation (DES) is considered a powerful tool for designing, analyzing, and optimizing of assembling operations. In this paper, a decision-making approach for using discrete event simulation for the planning of assembly lines based on morphologic analysis has been investigated. In this context, it is not about determining the quality of a simulation model, but rather whether it is reasonable at all.
