Simulation is a powerful problem-solving technique. The optimization process for a packaging line often cannot be solved by an analytical method. The proper selection of optimization method will result in higher productivity of the packaging line. A simulation model for increasing the productivity of dairy plant packaging lines was developed based on statistical analysis, using the simulation software "Taylor II". The computer simulation model was run for a variety of system parameters and was found to accurately predict the performance of the system.;There has been no implementation of the simulation to date. However, for limiting cases, the simulation model of the current line agreed very well with actual performance. |
