Abstract
Every Company wishes to expand its market share and uphold its policies so as to
promote creativity and innovation. These incentives ensures that the organization is in a position
to attract and retain its customers. If there are any problems within the company it results to loss
customers and decrease in market share.
The aim of this project proposal in to carry out what is known as queuing and bottleneck
analysis so as to examine multi-stage production liner performance to facilitate realistic resource
planning and delivery of quality Apple products. This study is also aimed at helping Apple
managers in improving effectiveness, efficiency and selecting the best policy for assembly
systems. The project proposal will adapt what scientist refer to as analytical approach which will
based on data corrected from the internet about Apple Company. The queuing analysis reported
in this project proposal provides the basis for analyzing and estimating production systems by
measures like percentage of idle workstation, the number of batches in the queue and the
expected time spent in the queue. In addition, this project proposal will implement bottle-neck
model to identify potential bottlenecks that Apple Company is currently experiencing. Also the
Flexsim software will be used to assist in optimizing the planned process and identifying and
decreasing waste and reducing cost of production.
Keywords: manufacturing, queuing model, Apple, and performance measurement
