Simulation of Ammunition Production Lines
Abstract
Automated metal parts production facilities are complex because they are integrated with automated material handling systems, centralized chip transport systems, and automatic gaging; therefore, it is more difficult to predict monthly production throughput. The primary objective of this program is to develop a methodology to simulate production line behavior through computer modeling. The need to develop more reliable input data (such as MTBF and MTTR) is recognized and methodology to calculate buffer size through use of the binomial distribution is proposed.
