A discrete‐event simulation of a utility trouser manufacturing plant is described. The simulation model, written in the GPSS/PC language, was validated with operating data from a large plant with a nominal production capacity of 40,000 pairs of men's denim trousers per week. Specifically, the simulation results closely agreed with key plant operating figures, such as production rate, number of work stations, work‐in‐process inventory and residence time in production.

Discrete‐event simulation of trouser manufacturing

This paper illustrates the utility of discrete‐event simulation in the analysis and design of wastewater treatment plants. Specifically, the application of the General‐Purpose Simulation System (GPSS) to investigation of the batch operation of a poultry processing wastewater treatment plant, featuring sequencing batch reactors (SBRs), is described. The SBR process represents an innovative use of a classical biological process for which there is a great deal of theoretical data but limited experimental data available. Batch processing of industrial wastewaters is an alternative technology being explored due to more stringent discharge requirements and lower maintenance costs. The process is also easily adaptable to new demands because the equipment can be operated in several different modes. This simulation utilized several process configurations to obtain maximum usage of each individual unit. The numbers of the following items were varied: primary anaerobic reactors, aerobic reactors and dewater...
