Abstract

This paper presents a knowledge based modeling system that allows a manufacturing engineer who has very limited knowledge of simulation methodology to quickly and correctly, develop and run a simulation model of an automated guided vehicle system (AGVS). The modeling system is capable of guiding and assisting the engineer with a level of “expertise” comparable to a trained simulation specialist. The modeling support program is an automatic programming system, written in Turbo-Prolog which generates the computer code for the required model and experiment in the SIMAN simulation language.
