Maximizing Simulation Roi with Automod
نویسندگان
چکیده
Simulation modeling and analysis requires an investment in human resources and software. And the rewards from using simulation are significant. Many companies fine tune their operations and reduce waste using simulation. But in the end, every time modeling and analysis are performed, a decision has to be made whether the simulation is “worth doing” (Waite 1999). In this paper we will enumerate how AutoMod has been used to improve return on investment (ROI) from simulation.

Simulation of a Flexible Manufacturing System with AutoMod Software
A flexible manufacturing system (FMS) is a highly automated, complex system. Simulation is a well-proven method to design or analyze an FMS. Deployment of a radio frequency identification (RFID) system in FMS produces large volumes of RFID data streams, which provide valuable information to improve the operation of FMS. Different frameworks are presented in this paper regarding the use of RFID ...
متن کاملAutoMod AUTOSIMULATIONS' SYMPOSIUM '95 A CREATIVE APPROACH TO MODELING PRODUCT ORDERS IN AUTOMOD
This paper presents a creative approach to modeling product orders in AutoMod. The technique presented is a highly efficient and accurate method when product orders are complicated but occur with a fairly low volume. We begin by discussing the two typical means of representing product orders: (1) using an order history file and (2) using statistical distributions to model all aspects of product...

This presentation is a tutorial on Autoview, an AutoMod extension package that recreates model animation according to a user-defined script. AufoView allows users to restart animation and move back and forth in timeand 3-D space. Animation is created using text files generated from an AutoMod simulation model. By creating a userdefined camera description file, animation can take place that allo...
