Abstract
In the production of an extrusion die, the step which consists of drilling thousands of holes into a steel hlank is extremely expensive. Several potential improvements for this drilling process have been proposed. This paper will attempt to evaluate the benefits of each proposed strategy using simulation. Substantial post-analysis of the simulation data is discussed to develop further potential improvements in the production process.
