If the introduction of the first power and free conveyor system in a plant is a risky adventure, then the introduction of the second power and free conveyor system in a plant where the first one failed is an extremely hazardous undertaking. The people proposing this power and free conveyor system decided to decrease their risks by initiating a simulation study while the system was early in the design phase. The primary purpose of the proposed power and free system is to minimize the manual handling of parts between the two plating tanks compared to the system it replaced. The basic objective of this simulation study was to evaluate the feasibility of the proposed system to perform the required tasks while operating at specified production levels with efficient use of the planned number of workers.
