Abstract
Manufacturing systems & processes are becoming more complex. Manufacturing engineering and production management decisions involve the consideration of many interdependent factors and variables. These often complex, interdependent factors and variables are probably too many for the human mind to cope with at one time. Printing operations is a challenging task because of the many constraints imposed by the processing technology used. The current practices are mostly driven by the nature of the printing processes resulting in a considerable amount of work-in-processes (WIP), long waiting times and long lead times. Consecutively, it is imperative that improving the factory`s efficiency on paper box production have a greater impact on their overall productivity. Computer simulation is a technique that allows building of and experimenting with a model of a real system on a computer. Although there are several different types of simulation, the focus of this thesis is on discrete-event simulation as applied to paper box production systems in Yekatit paper converting Enterprise. The result of performance analysis of printing line paper box production process using a computer simulation model focused on search for various acceptable options for improving the performance of the Yekatit Paper Converting Enterprise. After thorough analysis of five scenarios, the output of the factory increased by 60.21% of system through put.
