This paper focuses on discrete-event simulation (DES) model of a vertically stacked HDD sorting system using the Arena software. We propose an approach decreasing the throughput time of sorting department that are inefficient. We find that the automated system can decrease the average waiting time, the work-in-process and the average total time in system by 59.24%, 59.87%, and 72.67%, respectively, compared with the current system.
