Automatic Generation Method of Simulation Model for Production Planning and Simulation Systems Integration

Abstract:

In the paper the method of integration of production planning and simulation systems has been presented. An automatic generation method of production systems models has been implemented to integrate the Production Order Verification System (SWZ) for multi-assortment, concurrent production planning) and Enterprise Dynamics simulation system. Submitted methodology allowed the direct generation of simulation models for production systems with the use of data obtained from PPC systems, regardless of the production system structure, flow topology of the production processes and the amount of resources and production orders. Generation of simulation models is performed automatically, allowing the omission of time-and labor-consuming process of building a simulation. In the process of generation of the simulation models, methods of data mapping, transformation and exchange, between heterogeneous computer systems (PPC/DES) using neutral formats and data storing (XML) in conjunction with an intermediate neutral data model have been used. The result of transformation is the input file for simulation systems, containing information about the production system model, together with control procedures. Based on the described methodology, operation algorithms have been developed and the computer software RapidSim, that integrates PPC and DES systems has been presented.
