Abstract
The increasing demand on manufactured houses has urged production managers to (i) improve the productivity of the manufactured housing construction processes by reducing the cycle time and (ii) to enhance the quality of both material and level of technicality used. A simulation model for the manufactured housing factory was developed in Arena to study the production process. This software is designed for modeling production processes and other systems in support of high-level analysis. Arena offers advanced capabilities to mimic the behavior of the real system components, layout and flow logic, and to produce data distributions and confidence intervals for the performance measures, as well as display animation. This paper will discuss the production process in a manufactured housing factory and illustrate the simulation model that was developed to analyze the system efficiency and to determine the bottlenecks in the production system.
