The requirement for increased productivity is leading to theintroduction of complex integrated manufacturing systems. asan aid to the efficient design and operation of these expensive systems, there is need for improved models that could predict the effects of alternative decision scenarios.while… More

Simulation languages, such as gpss/h, simscript ii.5 gasp, etc. are becoming increasingly popular as the tool in the detail design and analysis of discrete event systems, such as transportation networks, manufacturing systems, computer/communication networks. the basic limitation of simulation in… More

This proposal responds to the stated goals of darpa sbir topic 91-181 by proposing three novel approaches: (a) develop rapid modeling technology (rmt) tools for design, planning, and decision support of semiconductor factories, (b) recognizing the multiproduct complexity in semiconductor… More

Major decisions in manufacturing companies are being made with inadequate decision support tools. traditional cost analysis contains assumptions that eventually lead to incorrect decisions. cost accounting does not include adequate production models and assumes that costs are linear. cost allocation… More

In response to the stated goals of SBIR topic ARPA 94-083, we propose the development of a simulation query language for discrete event systems (e.g., C3I systems, manufacturing, computer systems, networks, financial planning). The language will be based on a rigorous modeling framework and will… More

That discrete event dynamic systems (deds) constitute an important topic of systems theory and operation research is no longer in question, and while examples of deds ranging from airports to communication networks to logistics, service, and manufacturing systems abound in our daily lives, the fact… More
