Abstract

A simulation of the Erika engine-block finishing operations at Michigan Casting Center, Flat Rock, Michigan aided Ford Motor Company management in evaluating expansion alternatives. Various problems associated with simulation-language choice, data collection, and model validation are discussed. Outcomes of the simulation for various expansion alternatives are presented.
