Report format (Content page, Introduction,1.1 1.2 1.3…… Conclusion)
Harvard reference format
I have already developed the model and put it into figures please see the coursework guide

You are required to:
1. develop an appropriate model using Simul8 and simulate the above supply- production-distribution scenario; run the simulations and explain the relevant results;
figure
1 basic model

Paraphrase/rewrite/the coursework problem(green part)apply with this model. Around 150words

Settings of the basic model

Describe each element of the model (80words)

Figure 2 clock setting for the basic model

• Warm-up period 2400minutes 50-100 words
• How to get the value
• Figure 3 warm-up period
• Results collection period(run length) 124800 minutes
• 1 year （from simulation introduction）
• Numbers of runs in the trial (replication) 50 runs in trial
• Explain（from simulation guide）
• KPI chosen (key performance indicators) why choose and result analyze

2. discuss the influence of adding additional machines to assemble the final product
2.1 Use 1 assembly machine—the machine worked saturated around 99％. That leads the raw material (storage) can not access to the assembly machine….
2.2 Use 2 assembly machines—two machines work equally and fully worked. Compare the results with using 1 machine.
2.3 Use 3 assembly machines- three machines not fully worked. Around 64%. Compare the results.
3. use the simulation models to suggest changes in the supply-production-distribution system for supporting the lean approach as indicated at
http://www.simul8.com/manufacturing/lean_tutorial.htm

• what is a lean approach
• how the lean approach applies in simulation(in this model)
• how the pull system apply in this model
• may apply in raw material storage, decreasing the storage and waiting time…(advantage)
• how simulation assists the implementation of the lean approach

4. based on a literature review provide a brief analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the simulation methods
