Process and Labour Utilization in The Electronic Industry: A Simulation Approach
Process utilisation that ensures all workstations are balanced is essential factor for factory productivity. Another important factor that has to be considered is the Man-to-Machine (M-to-M) ratio which provides an answer to how much manpower should be assigned to a machine. This paper reports...

| Summary: | Process utilisation that ensures all workstations
are balanced is essential factor for factory productivity.
Another important factor that has to be considered is the
Man-to-Machine (M-to-M) ratio which provides an answer
to how much manpower should be assigned to a machine.
This paper reports on a simulation approach that aims to
simultaneously provide a solution to the problems of process
and M-to-M ratio utilisation. The results of the simulation
provide an accurate picture for the system understudy in
terms of the bottleneck process, optimal utilisation and M-to-M ratio. |
