Theoretical study : analysis of automated flow lines using discrete-event simulation

Discrete-Event Simulation (DES) has been used extensively by companies for modelling and analysis of manufacturing systems, especially in evaluating the performance of a proposed system and choosing an appropriate design before actually implementing the proposed solutions. To demonstrate the advanta...
