The second goal is the analysis of different possible improvements, regarding scheduling (different priority rules) and automatic transportation with Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs). The best number of AGVs in terms of cost and logistic service level for the selected scenario is determined by the simulation study. Scheduling methods for jobs and AGVs are also compared, since they have high impact on the goal criteria, e.g., lead times.
