Simulation of assembly line for production performance improvement

An automotive assembly line is a process in automotive manufacturing system whereby car parts are installed and the semi-finished car body moves from a workstation to another workstation in sequencing manners until the final assembly of the car is produced. This Bachelor Thesis presents the study o...
