Abstract

Today's manufacturing systems are highly complex and many are very costly to build and maintain. Discrete Event Simulation (DES) has an important role to play in managing these systems. The process of simulating manufacturing systems and some key application areas are discussed. Finally, some things that have limited the proliferation of DES in manufacturing systems are discussed.
