Implementation of computer simulation in rubber assembly line: a case study (Rubber Research Institute Of Malaysia)

Simulation is one of the modeling techniques in solving industrial problem that can imitate the real system through model development. In Rubber Research Institute of Malaysia (RRIM), assembly line of Deproteinised Natural Rubber (DPNR) that has been operating since 1994 had never been modeled throu...
