Practical Example of the Integration of Planning and Simulation Systems Using the RapidSim Software

Abstract:

In the paper practical implementation of the methodology of production planning systems with discrete event simulation (DES) systems integration has been presented. The required definitions of data structures and functions transformation in the form of XSLT documents have been presented. The functional algorithm and RapidSim software made on its basis, which is practical implementation of the integration methodology was developed. Developed software and parameterising documents have been used for the integration methodology verification. RapidSim system was made in VisualBasic development environment, and by the fact that Data Transformation XSLT documents can be independently developed, the software can be used for any integrated systems. During the verification phase of the implemented methodology, the software has been used for the practical implementation of Production Order Verification System (SWZ) for multi-assortment, concurrent production planning and Enterprise Dynamics simulation system integration.
