Abstract | This paper presents a hybrid approach that use Simulation and Design of Experiment to analyze the production system and support decision making to define an optimal number of production resources. We developed a simulation model, implemented in System Dynamics Environment, that emulates a Petri Nets behavior and hat mimics the actual operation of the production system on which experiments were performed, through DOE, to determine possible evolutionary scenarios.
