Simulation-based learning tool for facilities design
1996
Proceedings of the 28th conference on Winter simulation - WSC '96
This paper describes a tool, LAYSIM, to emphasize to the students the important role of material handling cost in choosing the type of layout; i.e., Product, Jobshop or Group Technology-based layout for a certain set of products. It addresses how through experimentation with LAYSIM students understand and appreciate the manufacturing costs associated with each type of layout. The paper describes the underlying learning model, development of the LAYSIM, the features of LAYSIM and the proposed dissemination technique.
