With an immense increase in research, development, and application of object-oriented
simulation (OOS) over the past decade, there is evidence that this technology is becoming …

Historically, manufacturing engineering education has focused on teaching mathematical
models using simplifying assumptions that can mask the realities of complex manufacturing …

In this paper we have classified the major combined simulation languages into six
approaches. The approaches are useful for understanding the historical development and …

Today's manufacturing enterprises are characterised by frequently changing market
demands, time-to-market pressure, continuously emerging new technologies and global …

This paper presents a virtual plant modeller (VPMOD), which formally characterizes and
integrates chemical product designs, batch-chemical equipment (plants), the real-time …

The development of a total simulation system for steel plate manufacturing is discussed. In
numerical analysis of rolling, various approaches have been studied recently, such as …

The concept of multitasking workers plays a major role in the success of Just-in-Time (JIT)
implementation. It has been pointed out that one key element of a JIT system is its ability to …

In the paper a multi-agent virtual manufacturing system is presented. This system offers a
tremendous opportunity for a new kind of communication. The implementation of such a …

The primary focus of past research in the field of Virtual Manufacturing (VM) has been
confined to the use of Virtual Reality in manufacturing. This paper tackles the subject from …
