“…However, there is a need to standardize modelling and software development, that would provide underlying code that is cleanly extensible, well-defined and a semantically abstract architecture as a prerequisite. An even more difficult technical challenge (see Schonherr andRose (2009), McGinnis andUstun (2009) and Lee et al (2011)) is to give a means for a modeller to efficiently document an object, in a way that another user can retrieve, understand and use it in his model. This would provide a means for OS DES to outperform commercial organizations.…”

This article reviews the state of the art in Open Source (OS) Discrete Event Simulation (DES) software used for decision support in Operations Research (OR) focusing on the modelling of manufacturing, services, supply chain management and logistics. DES is arguably one of the most popular OR techniques. Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) DES software has been around for decades and it has considerably helped in the wider adoption and use of DES, providing the user with tools for modelling, debugging and experimentation. However, such tools often have limitations regarding their aspects such as cost, flexibility and reusability and OS DES seems to be a strong alternative in order to fill those gaps. The scope of our review is to present the state of the art in OS DES and identify future areas of research. The paper concludes with the desired features that an OS DES project should have in order to become a notable competitor against COTS equivalents in the OR domain.

“…The model generator itself serves as a transformation layer between CMSD and the used simulation environment. Other work comes from the collaboration of researchers at Chalmers University and NIST [24], they developed generic and reusable interfaces for CMSD-file communication in two commercial simulation packages, which are Plant Simulation and Enterprise Dynamics. In the Simulation-based Manufacturing Interoperability Standards and Testing (SBIT) [25] project underway at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), part of the work was to simulate the production line of an automotive company.…”

Test Implementation and Initialisation of a Simulation Model Using CMSD

et al. 2014

This paper describes a test implementation of the Core Manufacturing Simulation Data (CMSD) information model and the integration and initialisation of a simulation model in a newly developed Simulation Engine. The cost of developing, implementing and using simulation technology is high. The costs of integrating simulation models with other manufacturing applications are even higher. There is always a need to enable data exchange and sharing between simulation applications and other software applications. The idea of the CMSD effort is to facilitate the above using neutral, reusable data structures for managing actual production operations and for simulating the performance of the manufacturing system. To address the problem of time consuming pre-coding for DES projects, a knowledge extraction tool is currently being developed. The knowledge extraction tool will read data from several resources of an organisation and output it in a format that is applicable for simulation purposes. The format that we adopted follows the CMSD standard in order to describe simulation related data. In this paper we present the modelling of a complex production line of our industrial partner with the CMSD standard and the development of the translator in ManPy so that it can read the CMSD information model and run the simulation.

“…Additionally, the integrated platform also offers a workflow mechanism where the modules are chained sequentially, operating on the same database. This central database ensures the interoperability of the modules by the Core Manufacturing Simulation Data (CMSD) standard model [17]. Following the organizational structure of a production company, within the integrated platform different roles can be granted with different data access levels.…”

Design and management of reconfigurable assembly lines in the automotive industry

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Automotive suppliers are facing the challenge of continuously adapting their production targets to variable demand requirements due to the frequent introduction of new model variants, materials and assembly technologies. In this context, the profitable management of the product, process and system co---evolution is of paramount importance for the company competitiveness. In this paper, a methodology for the design and reconfiguration management of modular assembly systems is proposed. It addresses the selection of the technological modules, their integration in the assembly cell, and the reconfiguration policies to handle volume and lot size variability. The results are demonstrated in a real automotive case study. Assembly System; Reconfiguration; Co---evolution.
