A SIMULATION APPROACH TO PRODUCTION LINE BOTTLENECK ANALYSIS
@inproceedings{Leporis2010ASA, title={A SIMULATION APPROACH TO PRODUCTION LINE BOTTLENECK ANALYSIS}, author={Michal Leporis and Zdenka Kr{\'a}lov{\'a}}, year={2010} }
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.
