CIM-OSA (Computer Integrated Manufacturing - Open Systems Architecture) is the result of a joint European initiative by nineteen industrial and academic organizations to define an architecture for a CIM system. This architecture permits CIM users and vendors to evolve toward well-defined structures for CIM systems. Moreover, this architecture permits an integrated decision support system implementing simulation. We define integration criteria for this decision support system, and an architecture in response to these criteria. One of the features of this architecture is the ability to emulate the CIM control logic to perform "what-if" and "try-for-fit" analyses. We define a potential problem with simulation when emulating CIM control logic.
