Since facilities are placed back into production immediately following the conclusion of the event, it is generally not feasible to extensively test a wide range of system configurations. In this situation, simulation can be extremely helpful for investigating alternative designs; however, given the compressed timeline, it can be difficult to produce a helpful model. This problem is exacerbated when one considers that kanbans and other pull production control methods are frequently implemented to limit work-inprocess inventory. The extra complexity of pull production control increases model construction time even further
