A Mathematical Model for Production Simulation

Abstract

A mathematical model has been developed to simulate the production lines at Watervliet Arsenal. Inputs to the model include the steps required to transform raw material into a finished product and the resources available for production. From these data, the model will predict such things as the number of items produced by the line, utilization of machines and workers and areas where the number or quality of the resources are not adequate to meet the desired production goals.
