Formal DEVS modelling and simulation of a flow-shop relocation method without interrupting the production

Modeling and Simulation of Manufacturing Processes and Systems: Overview of Tools, Challenges, and Future Opportunities

“…As it is a rigorous and able tool to describe discrete event models in hierarchical and modular manner, DEVS is considered an efficient way to describe production processes mathematically when they are divided into different stages within a sequence of production steps [83,84]. Complex and stochastic flows in production lines and logistics systems are also described by this simulation tool [85][86][87] with relatively minor investment. As indicated in [88], DEVS can provide several scenarios despite the need of a large amount of modeling time in order to analyze system performance and to converge to an optimum solution.…”

A simulation approach for optimal design of RFID sensor tag-based cold chain systems

“…Since logistical activities can be regarded as events, SCCSs belong to discrete event systems. Besides the logistics processes, DEVS formalism has been also applied to various areas including computer/network systems and process control in a factory (Farooq et al, 2006;Pujo et al, 2006;Zacharewicz et al, 2011).…”

Environnement G-DEVS/HLA pour la simulation distribuée de systèmes de production multiprocessus

“…Il montre le lien entre le temps de cycle et la manière de piloter la chaîne et l'importance de l'analyse de la production pour pouvoir optimiser la performance. Dans le même ordre d'idées, Pujo et al (2006) s'intéressent au déménagement progressif d'une ligne de production, qui devient ainsi temporairement deux lignes de production en interactions extrêmement fortes, l'une sur l'ancien site, et l'autre sur le nouveau. Là encore, la simulation est l'outil indispensable voire incontournable pour pouvoir prendre les bonnes décisions.…”
