Simulation is a tool which helps to decide the performance measures of any real complicated system. Nowadays simulation plays an important role in engineering, medicine and other areas. Simulation is nothing but constructing a model which is similar to real system using software application interface. Simulation helps to study the behavior of system as well its own components very well. It is just a reference model which can be compared with the real system to know its potential highlights or some of the special features about the system. In this paper typical manufacturing system is considered for analyzing its performance and characteristics using PROMODEL software package. In this paper the objective is to study the arrival of materials in the shop floor and shipping of finished commodities from shop floor using simulation approach.

Aims and Scope:

1. Promodel
2. Manufacturing system
