Using the MAXX simulator for electronic card manufacturing

Abstract

MAXX is a manufacturing-oriented simulator designed for detailed modeling and analysis of a manufacturing line. It is capable of evaluating both steady-state long-term performance and transient performance based on short-term production schedules for many types of manufacturing systems. It requires no programming by a user; instead, users interact with MAXX through menus, tables, forms, and a graphical routing editor. It is shown how MAXX can be used to model an electronic card manufacturing line and simulation results are presented for an example model.
