Simulation modeling and analysis of productivity Enhancement in manufacturing company using arena Software

Every manufacturing company wants to improve and adapt their operating system in order to survive the industry competition. In manufacturing organizations, to improve their system it might mean to reduce the operating costs that come from the wastes in production line. By using the ARENA simulation...
