An evaluation of approaches to modelling and simulating manufacturing systems

SUMMARY This paper presents an evaluation of the main established approaches to modelling and simulating manufacturing systems. These are the event, activity and process modelling methods, and the language and data-driven means of creating a simulation. The evaluation has been carried out by the use of case studies of actual manufacturing systems using different simulation languages to explore the methods and the language features necessary to simulate manufacturing systems. Twenty-five aspects of the methods and languages have been evaluated and these are presented and discussed.
