From the Paper:

"There are many other examples of the benefits of using discrete event simulation modeling as evidenced by Hlupic and Robinson. One example is when Robinson helped develop a high-level simulation model for an automotive company's manufacturing operation. There were three plants in close proximity of each other, each handing a different assembly responsibility. The company wanted a simulation model to help determine their facility needs, plant workflow and scheduling patterns. They needed to implement changes to meet increasing customer demand and they had to be sure that the improvements would enable them to handle product diversification to meet customer demands."
