Abstract
This paper analyses the production line layout of the manufacturing system design to identify the key performance and to improve the production performance of a bicarbonate beverage production company by using simulation modelling approach. Due to our approach, a simulation model of the real production line layout and new improved production line layout was developed. The key performance indicators of the manufacturing system were evaluated using Arena software. The analysis of the indicator values revealed an improvement within new improved model compare to the real production line layout. The percentage errors for simulation of actual model with new improved model give an improvement percentage of 3.91% for Model A and 44.1% for Model B. All models that have been developed in this research by using the Arena software were also being validated. On the basis of these findings, factory production line layout can be simulated by using the Arena software that enhances the result for further improvement.
