Abstract

In this paper, we describe how Delphi Corporation used simulation in the concept-development phase of a new multimillion-dollar fuel injector production line. Delphi wanted to assess the financial viability of production targets and identify the critical features of the line on which it would focus its design-improvement efforts.
