Use of workload control in production planning and control: modeling on a simulation software

Abstract: This paper aims at presenting a structure of implementation the Workload Control (WLC) approach on commercial discrete event simulation software by comprehensively demonstrating how to construct and simulate this approach. research was developed considering lack studies fully describing kind software, which hinders dissemination use WLC managers. Initially, logic dedicated structured language then converted software. A detailed description contributes business domain facilitating its replication application in other manufacturing environments, reducing project time needed develop base model allowing managers and/or researchers focus directly adjustments environment being modeled. In academic domain, addresses gap literature concerning tutorials for information, existing papers, regarding development computational model.
