Discrete event simulation is one of the key technologies to assist in the development of a flexible and agile production system in this Industry 4.0 era. An ExtendSim model was built for an AstraZeneca production system containing five production lines. Using the model to understand the behavior and analyze the production lines identified that the production lines were not efficient and were being underutilized, as the company assumed. It further helped identify possible improvements while evaluating the feasibility of the production system to achieve the forecasted demand over time.
