}
The paper presents a comparison of several methods for production line bottleneck analysis using discrete event simulation approach and the simulation software WITNESS. An experimental environment has been created for processing and comparison of results obtained from the WITNESS simulation experiments. The advantages and constraints of the cited methods are discussed.

Discrete Events in a Continuous System How to model influence factors on capacity in a complex assembly line environment

The handling of single production lots was implemented successfully into the simulation model and it could be shown that no hybrid approach is needed for combining System Dynamics and Discrete Event Simulation.

Semi-automatic simulation-based bottleneck detection approach

This approach combines in a semi-automatic way known simulation-based bottleneck detection methods with a two-step procedure, first analyzing the system and then generating scenarios testing the system's sensitivity against changes, and derived the bottleneck.

Performance of any discrete manufacturing system is solely governed by its throughput. The throughput in turn depends upon many factors such as capacity of machines, labor, raw material quality,…

Dynamic bottleneck elimination in mattress manufacturing line using theory of constraints

The objective is to find the bottlenecks in production line in order to balance the semi-finished material flow and solve the problem with a main theme based on the elimination of the bottleneck using Goldratt and Cox’s theory of constraints with a simulation based heuristic method.
