Benchmark C02 Flexible Assembly System is the first discrete comparison defined in SNE. Based on a relatively simple process model with six stations around a circular transport belt, the task is to define and combine submodels and to describe control strategies for the workflow of pallets travelling around the belt.

Originally defined for checking the features of discrete simulators for the sketched tasks, the relatively simple model is case study for introduction to discrete process modelling, or to event-based process modelling and to simulation of production systems – a suitable basis for education for simulation novices in this area.
