Dear Colleagues:
I am researching into the modular development of manufacturing simulation
models. The aim of the research is to identify the issues concerned and develop
a framework, which enables modular development of simulation models for large
scale manufacturing systems.
In large-scale manufacturing systems, it is not practical to build the entire
simulation model as a whole. A more feasible approach would be the development
of individual modules and thereafter the integration of these modules
together as a whole. This technique reduces the complexity of large-scale model
building; hence, it will be easier to maintain and the re-use of modules for
different scenarios.
The simulation models will be constructed using the commercial software package
called Arena. I would really appreciate any pointers, comments,
recommendations, methodologies or critique in pursuing this research.
Thanks in advance and for your time.
I look forward to hearing from you in the future
Yours truly,
