Discrete-event process simulation has long been an analytical tool of primary importance aiding the design of production systems; the historically earliest and still perhaps the most common applications of simulation are in the manufacturing sector of the economy. Economic and competitive pressures, already of conspicuously world-wide extent, are vigorously exerting themselves toward the achievement of strong performance metrics (e. g., high throughput, high reliability, low inventory, low cost) throughout even long and complex manufacturing supply chains. In the study documented here, discrete-event process simulation was applied to a portion of an automotive-transmission assembly line and its accompanying conveyor (i. e., material-handling) system current under construction in the Great Lakes area of the United States.
