NDLI: A production operations simulator: low yield, high volume

Content Provider	ACM Digital Library
Author	Schlender, Blair H. Smerilson, Harvey H.
Abstract	In high technology production the effect of yield in such areas as schedule, cost, learning, line balancing and equipment requirements is often overlooked. The authors have developed a simulation routine, designed primarily for computer utilization, which concentrates on a convenient handling of yield. In this paper the authors address the method used, the problems which led to the development of the model, and the results obtained in use. The authors define what is considered to be low yield, high volume operations so that the user can identify a potential application of this simulator as opposed to some alternative. Yield and the effect of learning are considered as they relate to the type of process flow under consideration. After addressing the individual factors the authors delve into the workings of the modeling technique. A step-by-step approach shows how the model is developed. An example and a case history are included to clarify the development.
