Abstract: | The present work discusses the fundamental structure of simulation models (components, relations, terms, etc…); their basic elements, the programming language, and model structure and requirements. The study aims to define the role of simulation in design of a dynamic system such as FMS. A simulation study is carried out to demonstrate the application of simulation models. The system to be examined is a planned PMColl. The major task was to evaluate design issues such as the effect of priority rules for job sequencing, the determination of the number of pallets limit, and better conveyor speed. |
