ARTICLE DESCRIPTION: This article describes the use of simulation as part of the planning process before implementation of new machinery in a manufacturing environment. The focus of the simulation study is on the technique of line balancing in a product focused (line) layout. The author describes how a customised user interface enabled on-going use as a decision support tool, thus increasing the usefulness of the model and improving its cost effectiveness to the organisation
