Modeling and simulation study of the production system based on Flexsim

Presents Petri net modeling of a segment of production line with two machines and one buffer area and then the performance analysis.The Petri net whose transition obeys the exponential distribution could be converted in Markov Chain(MC) and thus the model performance indexes could be obtained.Since calculation of Petri net model is sophisticated,the Flexsim software is applied to simulation of the Petri net model.
