This chapter describes the application of the RAP/AOR methodology proposed by Taveter and Wagner (2005, 2006) to the modeling and simulation of a real ceramics factory. The chapter addresses the modeling of the ceramics factory from the interaction, information, and behavior aspects of the methodology. The chapter also discusses the simulation of the manufacturing processes of the ceramics fact...

Due to the ever-increasing computational capabilities and the increasing use of automated manufacturing, distributed large-scale, discrete-event manufacturing system controllers are being proposed and designed. Currently there is a large amount of research in the area of simulation of manufacturing systems, scheduling and some research in the control of automated manufacturing plants. Even inte...

In this paper we analyze and evaluate the effects of some pre-defined process parameters on the performance of a manufacturing system. These parameters include two different plant layout types, namely functional layout (FL) and cellular manufacturing layout (CL), as well as scheduling rule, machine downtimes, batch sizes, and transporter (interstage transporters) capacities. First we employ sim...

The emerging of the new global economy has forced companies to adopt innovative manufacturing practices. In this context the concept of Extended Enterprise has emerged as a model which companies are pursuing in order to remain competitive in global markets. A research project named Extended Enterprise Demonstration Factory program is being carried out in order to create reference models, method...

Simulation is a powerful tool to analyze manufacturing systems for purposes of design and on-going operation. In recent years, simulation modeling and analysis have been enhanced significantly by increasingly powerful computational platforms. This has enabled development of high-fidelity models of manufacturing systems, at least from a computational perspective. Such high-fidelity modeling has ...

The simulation of the business and manufacturing processes plays an essential role in modern scientific research and decision-making in management. However, this simulation, especially its output performance measures, can be very tricky because these simulations depend on the calculations of particular simulation software. The objective of this paper is to confront the average values of perform...

HAL is a multi-disciplinary open access archive for the deposit and dissemination of scientific research documents, whether they are published or not. The documents may come from teaching and research institutions in France or abroad, or from public or private research centers. L’archive ouverte pluridisciplinaire HAL, est destinée au dépôt et à la diffusion de documents scientifiques de niveau...

Procurement is migrating from paper-based to electronic -based processes, thus the term e-procurement. Eprocurement can shortened the time between receipt and fulfillment of orders, thus reducing inventory and improve company cash flow. Successful e-procurement process design and improvement efforts require the understanding of the behaviour of work flowing through the system. Changes at one st...

Virtual reality (VR) refers to an immersive, interactive, multi-sensory, viewer-centered, three-dimensional (3D) computer generated environment and the combination of technologies required to build such an environment (Cruz-Neira, 1993). Related to problems of engineering design and manufacturing, this new technology offers engineers the ability to work with computer models in a three-dimension...
