I am trying to simulate an assembly line that consists of 5 workstations,
My attempt is to run the model several times, that each time FlexSim generates different random output, to finally take the average of the runs (outputs) as the capability of the assembly line.
So, my question is:
What is the ideal, or the most sufficient/reliable, number of runs that I should do, so that the calculated average output is reliable/validated ?
I have another question, please,
I tried to find the most fitting statistical distribution curve for each of the 5 workstations. And I found that, each workstation has a different statistical distribution curve than the others. So, how should I proceed with the simulation ?? Do I use a different statistical distribution for each workstation, or how should I unify them ??
Thank you so much for your time and efforts.
Best Regards,
