چکیده
Process improvement is a major requirement for a production manager who aims to reduce cost and achieve the target throughput. To achieve a target throughput, load balancing is commonly conducted, and resource investment is examined such as adoption of automation machine or hiring of new employee In this study, the impact of the waiting time caused by a moving conveyor is investigated based on discrete event simulation through a series of improvements scenarios, and the feasible design variables of conveyor line which can satisfy the target throughput is suggested.

Productivity Improvement through Line Balancing by Using Simulation Modeling
The typical problems facing garment manufacturers are long production lead time, bottlenecking, and low productivity. The most critical phase of garment manufacturing is the sewing phase, as it generally involves a number of operations or for the simple reason that it’s labor intensive. In assembly line balancing, allocation of jobs to machines is based on the objective of minimizing the workfl...

Background: The waiting list is a list of selected patients in the surgical queue. If demand exceeds capacity, the waiting list grows rapidly, which may lead to unacceptable waiting for patients, especially those in need of acute medical care. Patients waiting for heart surgery are placed on the waiting list for surgery, and sometimes the waiting time is longer than patients expect. Reducing th...
