Virtual Production Line Layout Modeling Using Arena Simulation Software

Abstract:

This paper focuses on the feasibility on developing a simulation model of a bicarbonate beverage production line layout in a manufacturing system by identifying the factory production performance in terms of production rate, production time and production cost. The production performance of the manufacturing system was evaluated using Arena software and the analysis of the production performance values was revealed. The errors percentage for the real production line layout with simulation model was 0.26 %. The models that have been developed in this research by using the Arena software were also being validated. Based on this study,, measures production line layout can be simulated by using the Arena software enhancing the result for further improvement of factory production line layout.
