A simulation-based analysis to improve line throughput for high-volume manufacturing

This project investigates a production line that faces fluctuating demand with seasonal pattern. The cumulative capacity exceeds the cumulative demand in a one year period; however, its expected weekly capacity is not able to meet the weekly demand during the peak season. In addition, examining its...
