The Simulation and Analysis of Multi-Product Manufacturing Systems,

Abstract

The development of a FORTRAN based simulation program which can be used to study and analyze any multi-product manufacturing system is the topic of this paper. A general one step Markov transition matrix is developed to generate each production unit's output. A detailed economic and statistical study of the manufacturing network is available as program options. The program was validated by using hypothetical conditions and assumptions on the Army's new system of munitions production SCAMP. (Author)
