A network-based simulation model is developed to analysis the product system of a frozen prepared food plant by using the computer simulation language SLAM Ⅱ in this study. The study includes three parts : the bottleneck analysis, sensitivity analysis of the product system and comparison of different product combination lines. The standards of measure is according to product quantities, average waiting time and quantities (include frozen and mould) , and utilization of worker and machine. The results indicate that bottleneck is located on the improper amount arrangement of filling workers and moulding workers at Shrimp-Dumpling product line. They also point out reducing one Shrimp- Dumpling filling worker can lessen the average mould waiting time and quantities. Moreover, if we increase one I.Q.F.( individually quick freezing machine), then 4.8% product quantities can be increased. From the lines which contain White-Turnip-Cake have higher I.Q.F. utilization, the lines which contain Seafood-Congee have lower the average frozen waiting time and quantities.
