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 presentation covers different phases of the manufacturing system life cycle. Starting
from conceptual system design to planning of operations. Material handling and logistic are …

This paper presents an evaluation of the main established approaches to modelling and
simulating manufacturing systems. These are the event, activity and process modelling …

As a result of crucial cost following within each manufacturing process and logistics manage‐
ment, it is required to validate the feasible solutions of scheduled and innovation systems. Im …

In the paper two kind of simulation methods, ie system dynamics simulation (SDS) and
discrete event simulation (DES), are proposed to simulate orders processing in a …

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 …

As the industrial requirements change at a rapid pace due to the drastic evolution of
technology, the necessity of quickly investigating potential system alternatives towards a …

In this paper, we present a new application of discrete–event simulation as a forecasting tool
for the decision support of the production activity control of a complex manufacturing system …

One of the most challenging problems facing industrial engineersconcerns the design and
operational planning of today′ s sophisticatedproduction systems. The need for a detailed …

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 …
