The rise of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems has been a major event in the software industry and it became solution for most enterprises to manage their data business processes. Successful ERP implementations can reduce costs by improving efficiency then lead improved company performance better competitive edge. Despite these benefits age existing several decades still high percentage...

Abstract: Aero-engines maintenance procedure can be treated as a typical discrete event dynamic system. A theory that synthesized timed colored Petri net is proposed. The theory adopts a bottom-up approach by merging all sub modules, and each one characterizes the critical resource contention among processes. Nevertheless Petri net seems inapplicable to dynamic scheduling modelling because of i...

This paper presents an ARENA®-based library for the development of Timed Colored Petri Net (TCPN) models. In this way, the strengths of Petri Nets and Discrete Event Simulation (DES) are combined in a powerful tool for modeling and analysis of systems. The use of the library is illustrated on a cosmetics manufacturing facility in Bogotá (Colombia). This facility was modeled via both TCPNs and a...
