Simulating your manual labor material handling system will help you address design and operational issues, answering the following questions:
• What is the best path layout to minimize travel time?
• Where are the potential bottleneck areas?
• How many people do you need to meet activity requirements?
• What are the best shift and break schedule strategies?
• Which task assignment rules maximize utilization?
• What is the best idle person deployment that minimizes response time?
