Abstract :
We present aspects of a simulated based system for analyzing and designing production control systems. The core of the system is a simulation of a manufacturing system operating with the production authorization card system. The simulation model is fast and flexible, making it attractive for generating large datasets for use in developing simulation metamodels of expected performance for a wide variety of production configurations. Details of the simulation system are provided, along with a discussion of the issues to be considered when using it to design production control systems.
