We are interested in maximizing the throughput of a closed loop flexible assembly system by distributing the total cycle time across workstations in an optimal way. The algorithm we present optimizes the system in a single simulation run and is a multi-dimensional extension of the single run optimization algorithm proposed recently. A complete implementation, of both the assembly system simulation and the algorithm, is given in the SIMAN language. Numerical examples show that the algorithm converges very quickly.
