| Summary: | This project focuses on designing an assembly line. Besides, the effects of different
model configuration and number of station reduction on the assembly line are studied.
In order to design an assembly line, minimum number of station is use to ensure high
station’s and worker’s utilization. The assembly line model is developing using
WITNESS simulation software. Four assembly line models with different
configuration are built using WITNESS. The aim of the simulation is to find the best
design that will be later implemented in reality. Statistical analysis, ANOVA is used
to find any significance or insignificance of performance measures for different layout
model. Results from the experiment have revealed that model’s configuration
influence the line’s performance measure. |
