In order to have a historical perspective of our IEEE Region 5, we have invited our past directors to present the activities during their directorships. The following Directors are invited- Ed Bertnolli(86-87), George Dean (98-99), Jean Eason(02-03), David Pierce(08-09), Sandra Robinson(10-11), and Robert Shapiro(18-19) Co-sponsored by: Region 5 History Committee Houston, Texas, United States, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/311124

When a new production line is planned, the capacity of each subsystem needs to be designed so that the line is able to produce the desired amount of products in a given time. Along with this, different scenarios of line operation need to be considered. When designing complex production lines, these capacities and scenarios must be verified by simulation. This webinar aims to highlight the importance of simulation verification. As an example, an assembly production line will be presented, the design of which had to be changed based on the simulation results.
