SIMULATION & VALIDATION OF BODY FRAMING ASSEMBLY LINE USING WITNESS

Computational simulation model has been a very useful tools for most organization it‟s provide a cost effective, quantitative means for planning, designing, and analyzing system proposals. The problem is most manufacturing plant simulation model is unavailable. The objective of this project is to develop a simulation model of an assembly plant and validate the model. The simulation model is developed using Witness12 Simulation software and adopt project execution approach from numbers of previous technical paper. Result from this project, there is a big difference on the production output on the simulation model and the actual plant. This is due to less information sharing between institution and industry.
