GEMS Analysis of an Ordered Entry, Multiple Server Production/Inventory System. A Case Study for GEMS, a Generalized Manufacturing Simulator

摘要

The report addresses the use of conveyers in transportation and storage functions to and from production areas in modern manufacturing processes. The effects of such uses on production system measures are analyzed. Conceptualized in two parts, the system consists of an ordered entry system with recirculation and a multiple server queueing system. Included are a description of the system operation; the GEMS network model; experimentation; results; and conclusions.
