DES is seldom used in the manufacturing system development process, instead it is usually
used to cure problems in existent systems. This has the effect that the simulation study alone …

Today, after more than four decades of presence in the manufacturing industry, we can
conclude that simulation as a technology has become extremely powerful, that simulation …

In recent years, the analysis and evaluation of manufacturing systems' behaviour and their
performance became essential. Discrete event simulation (DES) as a digital enterprise …

The computer simulation of manufacturing systems is commonly carried out using discrete
event simulation (DES). Indeed, there appears to be a lack of applications of continuous …

People managing production process need a new kind of decision support in the business
environment which is being changed rapidly. They need new tools for dynamic modelling of …

This paper describes a framework to integrate and synchronize discrete event simulation
(DES) models and system dynamics (SD) simulation models. SD is used to model the total …

Discrete-event simulation improves the possibility to study manufacturing systems. The use
is increasing compared to previous studies and 15% of 80 companies investigated are using …

Abstract Discrete Event Simulation is a comprehensive tool for the analysis and design of
manufacturing systems. Over the years, considerable efforts to improve simulation …

In the last few decades the evaluation and analysis of manufacturing systems' behavior and
their performance became very important. Digital enterprise technologies, as for example …

Describes the motivation, the initial implementation and tests carried out during the
development of a combined discrete‐time and continuous‐simulation system intended …
