Abstract :
We demonstrate how neural networks can be used in conjunction with simulation modeling for system design. This approach is used to achieve the opposite of what a simulation model can achieve: given a set of desired performance measures, the neural network outputs a suitable design to meet management goals. The methodology is presented using a real world application involving the test operation of a major semiconductor manufacturing facility
