Study on the performance improvements of electrical domestic appliance factory

This thesis has two objectives. First, it aims to help TECHSOL electronics domestic appliance measure and analyze its current performance. Secondly, it is aimed to ascertain where a small improvement can result in significant gain. A simulation model was used to model the factory in the abstract level. From the simulation model, areas of improvement for the factory are identified. It is also learned which stations constrain the factory production and which station performs badly. The thesis concluded with a suggestion of improvement in a particular station. The way and methodology to improve that particular station become the focus study for my project partner in the company.
