The design and implementation of automated materials handling systems is a very complex process. System models can serve a vital role in understanding such installations. This paper describes a GPSS simulation study of a large automated molten metal carrier system. The simulation model was a major factor in the implementaion process. An important part of this study was the development and documentation of a technique for the simulation of general automated materials handling systems and assembly line networks. Both the specific situation and the general methodology are discussed.
