Flow simulation of Body In White : Optimization of the production sequence and identification of bottlenecks at Volvo Trucks plant in Umeå

In this study, a discrete event model was created and used in combination with an optimization method to find the optimal production sequence at Volvo Group’s cab plant in Umeå. The optimization was performed with a heuristic approach combined with a genetic search algorithm. The result provides an...
