Abstract
The opportunities to cut costs and to improve service levels in manufacturing sectors are tremendous by applying simulation technology. This study deals with the performance modelling of an electronic manufacturing plant that produces stepping motors for computer compact disc drive. The aim of the study is to develop a simulation model that can be used to identify bottleneck, increase plant throughput and provide alternative operating policy. Three what-if models were tested to find out if certain changes in the model will help to improve the performance of the existing production line. In conclusion, the developed model has improved the understanding of the inter-relationship of several physical components of the plant.
