<br/><br/> This work is concerned with the use of simulation in management of Lead Time and Work-in Process in an assembly line. The case study is applied to DongDa Viettronic Company,  Vietnam.  The major problems on the assembly lines in the company are the unbalances of operation and  low efficiency those caused by lack of Work-in-Process control and the difference in  processing times of the workstation as well as. As a consequence, some amounts of work in  process are accumulated and exceed buffer storage between workstation, the manufacturing  lead time is increased and throughput rate of the line is reduced. To improve the operation of  the line, a simulation model is developed of the system to analyze the performance measures.  On basic of simulation results the study recommends some alternatives in order to improve the  system to obtained better performance measures. The results are then compared and the better  designs on different performance measure can be considered in decision making.
