Abstract
This paper presents a simulation study on the influence of different designs and operational policies of selectivity banks on the efficiency of automotive assembly sequencing. Specifically, we analyse whether or not a bypass lane could improve the performance of selectivity banks. A special purpose simulation framework has been developed and implemented using Witness simulation integrated with an Excel file containing the dataset and the decision making algorithms.
