One of the key goals for a simulation model is to accurately replicate the real system under consideration. A protocol is proposed to add credibility to the outputs of a simulatio...

In this paper, the manufacturing blocking system (MBS) is studied from the Network Calculus (NetCal) perspective. By dominating an MBS by a window flow controller (WFC), we obtain...
We present aspects of a simulated based system for analyzing and designing production control systems. The core of the system is a simulation of a manufacturing system operating w...
: In most cases in intelligent manufacturing applications the communication functions depend on the capabilities of the intelligent tool (e.g. expert system). Three different types...
In this paper, we compare two scheduling procedures designed to minimize setup costs for a make-to-order electronics manufacturing. While setup costs are important, quick response...
