Using simulation to predict system performance: a case study of an electro‐phoretic deposition plant
Abstract
Describes a computer simulation technique which has been applied to model an automotive manufacturing system in order to predict the system performance under an increasing demand. Using Sim View, a locally developed, graphically animated simulation package, the electro‐phoretic deposition plant was modelled and sensitivity analysis was carried out. Confirms some of the problems that were thought may arise, and highlights some other issues that may become problematic. Aims to produce possible suggestions for avoiding problems and improving the performance of the system. Plans further uses of the simulation model in studies to gain greater efficiency in the system and possibly to experiment with any future upgrades that may be considered.
