This paper describes a simulation model that can be used to examine plans for marketing, manufacturing, and distributing the products of an assembly line. The manufacturing plants are flow-oriented and use assembly lines to integrate subassemblies and pur chased parts into products. The simulation permits an economic evaluation of alternative allocations of manufacturing, marketing, and financial resources to select a best response to changes in customer demands. As an illustration, we compare the effects of two production schedules on inventory levels.

A computer simulation method is presented that par tially replaces road testing of engines and other components of the power-drive system of urban buses. To calibrate the model, experiments were performed in the urban traffic of Warsaw using a digital data- acquisition system. Analysis of the recorded data showed that two types of vehicle runs were represent ative of urban traffic; models of them were developed and verified. Specific performance criteria were selected for optimum matching of engines and power- transmission systems. A computational procedure based on the models and performance criteria is described. Finally, the paper presents an applica tion of this simulation method to improving the fuel economy and dynamics of a city bus.
