Simulation based analysis on ways to improve the factory performance

An effective production strategy would lead to efficient production line performance as well as increased profit. However, there is no fixed or generalized solution. In this project, the author treat the n-job, two-stage hybrid flow line problem with 2 different machines in the first station and 7 i...

The author researched the ways to improve a company’s performance by reducing the total cost from four different aspects (Production batches, transfer batches, dedicated line as well as predetermining a shared product type).
