This paper presents simulation of fuel tank assembly line for performance improvement. System simulation is used for modeling the assembly process and determined opportunities for improvement in the process for possible causes of the starvations and blockages. The assembly line throughput is significantly less than the estimated throughput. Alternative modeling scenarios are proposed to improve system throughput. Model verification is done through historical performance. Blockages are observed at different stations. Maximum queue size had a significant impact on reducing part rejection. The proposed model shows a nineteen percent increase in system throughput. Manufacturing uncertainty intelligence will be added for further analysis.
