Abstract

This paper describes the features and an implementation of a discrete systems simulator developed to simulate most manufacturing operations, to predict their performance. It is a tool intended for use by planners and manufacturing engineers who have little if any experience using them, The simulator incorporates graphics and question-and-answer interfaces to build the simulation without the user's need to know any programming language. It presents the results of the simulations in easy-to-understand animation and graphs.
