Abstract
The application of simulation to manufacturing has contributed to a generation of tools that is focused on specific problem solving related to automation, planning, material flow, supply chain, logistics, etc. Nowadays, manufacturing has evolved and its needs have changed. After an analysis of the current manufacturing simulation tools, we propose an approach based on multiagent systems theory, which covers current manufacturing needs.
