Summary:
This thesis uses the Dynamo Language and Modeling Techniques to show the effects of unpredictable delays on manufacturing facilities using a job shop production strategy. These delays affect productivity in that they cause increased work-in-process inventories and underutilized resources. Two models are developed, a macro model treating the plant floor as an entity and a micro model which shows the day-to-day operation of four work centers. The same basic assumptions are made in each model so the results may be used to complement each other.
