✦ Synopsis

The production of communication cables involves four major serial operations, namely tandem, twisting, stranding, and jacketing. Superior Cable Corporation manufactures such communications cables at the Elizabethtown, Kentucky, plant. The bottleneck operation in this facility is the twisting department. In this paper, we used simulation to analyze the operations in the twisting department and provide several recommendations to improve the production capacity of this department. Several of our recommendations are successfully implemented.
