Özet

Mixed model production lines are often used in manufacturing systems. In production lines, different product types are simultaneously manufactured by processing small batches. This paper describes a recently completed project involving the development of simulation models for a mixed model production line in a refrigerator company. Decision maker wants to determine the bottlenecks before changing the traditional line to a mixed model production line. Due to the enlarged number of models, the design of an assembly system becomes more complicated. Performance evaluation is an important phase in the design of assembly lines in a mixed model production environment. Simulation models helped us to identify production line bottlenecks and evaluate some number of suggested solutions.
