A computerized model of a production line can be used within audits, or on a stand-alone basis. If a picture is worth a thousand words, a line simulation is worth a thousand pictures. This tool makes it possible to analyze various scenarios, each with its own parameter settings. In the case of a new line, it can be very useful in the decision-making process to compare several possible scenarios. Simulation can provide reliable answers to questions such as:

• How much flexibility does a line truly have on a daily/weekly/monthly basis once the yearly production requirement is considered?
• How will variation of a specific parameter affect line efficiency?
• How much accumulation is needed to protect the critical machine from micro-stops?
• What over-speed is required on upstream/downstream machines in order to regenerate accumulation?
• What is the optimum critical machine speed considering upstream/downstream equipment and accumulation?
• How can objective justification be obtained for a machine replacement or upgrade?
