Simulation technology has been widely used for evaluating manufacturing system design alternatives. Various performance measures including throughput, utilization of resources, lead-time, and work in process are obtained from simulation studies. However, the dimensions of performance measures are different, and it requires that the trade-offs between them should be considered. In addition, personal preferences in the selection of performance measures vary from person to person. Thus, the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) system is required to complement the simulation technology. This paper presents a case study that integrates a simulation study with analytic hierarchy process (AHP), applied to the design of a transmission case line in a Korean automotive factory. The simulation model is developed with QUEST\u00ae. Four performance measures (criteria) and seven design alternatives are considered utilizing AHP.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0037549711407781","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,5,24]],"date-time":"2011-05-24T00:00:09Z","timestamp":1306195209000},"page":"450-463","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["A simulation study integrated with analytic hierarchy process (AHP) in an automotive manufacturing system"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"88","author":[{"given":"Te","family":"Xu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, Changwon National University, Korea."}]},{"given":"Dug Hee","family":"Moon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, Changwon National University, Korea."}]},{"given":"Seung Geun","family":"Baek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, Changwon National University, Korea."}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,5,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0037549711407781","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00207540600806430"},{"key":"bibr2-0037549711407781","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-642-57949-3"},{"key":"bibr3-0037549711407781","volume-title":"The Analytic Hierarchy Process","author":"Saaty TL","year":"1980"},{"key":"bibr4-0037549711407781","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejor.2008.01.012"},{"key":"bibr5-0037549711407781","first-page":"124","volume-title":"Proceedings of the European Simulation Symposium, Society of Computer Simulation International","author":"\u00dclgen O","year":"1994"},{"key":"bibr6-0037549711407781","first-page":"60","volume":"117","author":"Jayaraman A","year":"1996","journal-title":"Manufacturing Engineering"},{"key":"bibr7-0037549711407781","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1145\/268437.268620"},{"key":"bibr8-0037549711407781","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/WSC.2002.1172998"},{"key":"bibr9-0037549711407781","first-page":"41","volume":"12","author":"Moon DH","year":"2003","journal-title":"Journal of the Korea Society for Simulation"},{"key":"bibr10-0037549711407781","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3182\/20060517-3-FR-2903.00187"},{"key":"bibr11-0037549711407781","first-page":"983","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 2nd Annual International Conference on Industrial Engineering Applications and Practice","author":"Williams E","year":"1997"},{"key":"bibr12-0037549711407781","first-page":"17","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 2009 Summer Computer Simulation Conference","author":"Dunbar J","year":"2009"},{"key":"bibr13-0037549711407781","first-page":"70","author":"Kaplan RS","year":"1992","journal-title":"Harvard Business Review"},{"key":"bibr14-0037549711407781","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1108\/01443579610125787"},{"key":"bibr15-0037549711407781","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejor.2007.01.004"},{"key":"bibr16-0037549711407781","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0377-2217(02)00251-5"},{"key":"bibr17-0037549711407781","first-page":"24","volume-title":"Proceedings of Spring SIM","author":"Moon DH","year":"2007"},{"key":"bibr18-0037549711407781","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/WSC.1998.744982"},{"key":"bibr19-0037549711407781","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.dss.2008.03.002"},{"key":"bibr20-0037549711407781","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijpe.2008.06.009"}],"container-title":["SIMULATION"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0037549711407781","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0037549711407781","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,1]],"date-time":"2026-05-01T11:23:10Z","timestamp":1777634590000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/0037549711407781"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2011,5,23]]},"references-count":20,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2012,4]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/0037549711407781"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/0037549711407781","relation":{},"ISSN":["0037-5497","1741-3133"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0037-5497","type":"print"},{"value":"1741-3133","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2011,5,23]]}}}
