The overall objective of the research was to develop a simulation model discrete event for balancing an assembly line for components in a Brazilian automotive company, seeking to increase line productivity and using lower amounts of inputs. In the situation studied for many elements with stochastic behavior, which may influence the productivity of the line beyond the range of products that supply assembly, which makes the balancing line a complex task and promotes the use of the simulation procedure as a solution. In conceptual modeling of the studied problem adopted the IDEF-SIM method and for the simulation we used the ProModel® software. As results has a conceptual model and implemented for an assembly line that has enabled interesting information about the problem, such as joining functions of two posts jobs, eliminate excess movement and eliminate bottlenecks.
