Discrete Event Simulation for Increasing Productivity in Digital Manufacturing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Manufacturing Systems provide one of the most important applications of simulation. Simulation has been used successfully as an aid in the design of new production facilities and as well to evaluate suggested improvements to existing systems. There are many simulation tools available for simulating activities of manufacturing, however the today’s complex manufacturing situation demands for the tool that has an excellent GUI, open architecture, reusability and interfacing capability with other software tools. In this paper the few capabilities available in the latest versions of discrete event simulation tool have been used to support digital factory and to increase the productivity of the manufacturing by considering few cases of manufacturing situations. The Tecnomatix plant simulation software with an interface developed through Microsoft Visual Basic and Oracle Data Base to support the simulation and manufacturing is discussed. Keywords—Discrete Event Simulation, Tecnomatix, Visual Basic, Oracle, ODBC

متن کاملOptimal design of supply chain network under uncertainty environment using hybrid analytical and simulation modeling approach
Models that aim to optimize the design of supply chain networks have gained more interest in the supply chain literature. Mixed-integer linear programming and discrete-event simulation are widely used for such an optimization problem. We present a hybrid approach to support decisions for supply chain network design using a combination of analytical and discrete-event simulation models. The prop...
