Simulation as a planning tool for job-shop production environment

In this paper, we made an attempt to use discrete event simulation software ARENA® as a planning tool for job shop production environment.We considered job shop produces three types of Jigs with different sequence of operations to study and improve shop floor performance.The sole purpose of the stud...
