Abstract
In this paper, throughput analysis is studied by employing different industrial factors like reliability, buffer system, cycle time, and production time in the manufacturing workstation's layout. The research investigates the variations in throughput with both DES simulation and analytical methods by allocating different inputs. The results of analytical calculations and DES model throughputs are close, which explains the framework applying the production line cases that are proved effective to the system reliability challenge of serial manufacturing for increasing performance. The different inputs are selected based upon the real manufacturing layouts.
