Abstract

Simulation based controlof discrete event systems has been a potential approach to supportdecision-making in the manufacturing scenario. In this paper,a knowledge intensive simulation modelling approach for a discreteeven system is investigated. Based on the proposed simulationmodel, a robust control mechanism is presented that is believedto add significant value to discrete event dynamic system. Thealgorithm utilises neural network feedforward control plus robustproportional derivative feedback control to achieve control performanceand output stability. The novel simulation approach, as wellas the proposed controller, is implemented in an Extend TMenvironment and the effectivenessand usefulness of the proposed controller are verified, industrially,in the hard disk drive assembly process, a significant componentof the Singapore manufacturing economy.
