Abstract

The application of simulation is illustrated in a real life study dealing with plant capacity and resource management. This paper indicates the steps taken in the construction of the simulation model. First the objectives of the study are determined, then the simulation model is designed. The designed model is verified by comparing its elements with that of the actual system. The model is validated by using past data to check if it is able to simulate dynamic system behaviour. Finally, the simulation model is used as an analysis tool. These analysis were used to assist managers in capacity planning and resource utilization studies.
