Abstract
The concept of quick response manufacturing points up that industrial manufacturing companies pressed to compete on speed by emerging competitor must change the management mind-set and reduce lead times throughout the organisation. As a factory's work-in-process, lead times and capacity are the result of complex dynamics in the production system, to predict whether a decision will improve lead times, it is necessary to be able to forecast both process and queue times. In this paper, a novel approach based on analytical techniques for queuing network modelling, called rapid modelling technology (RMT), is implemented via the MPX© software package for complex shop floor operations modelling. The main scopes of the MPX© utilisation are to evaluate the human and economic resources of a printed circuit board (PCB) producer company and to find solutions for the optimisation of the PCB manufacturing system performances.
