Evaluating the Effect of Main Factors in Manufacturing Production Line Based on Simulation Experiment

Productivity plays a significant role for most companies in order to measure the efficiency. In reality there is an essential need to evaluate the different factors which increasing productivity and achieving the high level of quality, high production rate , machine utilization. On the other hand, manufacturing companies are striving to sustain their competitiveness by improving productivity and quality of manufacturing industry. So it can be acquired by finding ways to deal with various industrial problems which have affected the productivity of manufacturing systems. This paper aims at applying statistical analysis and computer simulation to recognize and to weight the significance of different factors in the production line. Based on the final result the two factors which are B (Number of labor) and C (Failure time of lifter) have the most significant effect on the manufacturing system productivity. In order to achieve the maximum productivity the factors should be placed on the levels which are: A= -1, B=1, C=1 and D=1. This means that the service rate of mixer = UNIF (20, 40), number of labor=20, failure time of lifter =60 min and number of permil=5 respectively.
