Performance Evaluation of an Engine Assembly Line through Simulation

Abstract:

Simulation can be used in industrial field allowing the systems behavior to be learnt and tested. This work involves simulation and analysis of the engine assembly line. An engine assembly line contains three subsystems namely engine assembly, hot test line and paint shop. A simulation model built up in modeling software-WITNESS by considered entire set of data. The model validated and several what-if scenarios generated. The different scenario has been analyzed. Finally the throughput, optimum number of pallet and bottleneck identified. This paper discusses the need and uses of discrete event simulation in the design for final engine assemblies.
