Abstract
Simulation has been frequently used in manufacturing because it allows alternative designs and control policies to be tried out on the model during the preparatory phase of the physical plant. It helps to reduce cost and risk of large scale errors. Simulation approaches are also used during the operational phase of the manufacturing plants to find better ways to operate, and these studies may be one point in time exercises or may be part of a periodic check on the running of the system [1].
