Discrete-Event Simulation Applied to Apparel Manufacturing

Abstract

This project is aimed at developing an expert system to identify sources of various types of defects (e.g. fabric, sewing) and the remedies for minimizing them. Researchers are developing the criteria and rules for classifying and preventing defects. Another goal is th access the economic impact of defects in apparel manufacturing, such as lost sales due to second quality garments and lost production time due to reworking. This report documents monthly progress for developing knowledge base software and user documentation materials. Keywords: Simulation, Discrete simulation, Modelling, Operations research, Queueing theory, GPSS-PC.
