Hybrid analytic and simulation models for assembly line design and production planning Academic Article

abstract

• Hybrid analytic and simulation models are used in solving complex problems in a variety of domains, but are less commonly used in production system design. This paper reviews hybrid approaches and their applications, proposes a new hybrid modeling class, and illustrates a cost function for selecting analytic or simulation modeling approaches via a problem solving process. To illustrate the new class, a case study is presented, in which a hybrid analytic and simulation modeling approach is used in designing a multi-stage, multi-buffer electronic device assembly line. Development of a robust integrated modeling support environment is proposed as a future direction. 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
