Production Systems Engineering: Requirements Analysis for Discrete-EventSimulation

摘要

This document describes the results of the requirement analysis phase for aneutral interface specification to discrete event simulation software. The interface specification should provide a neutral mechanism capable of describing input data to a discrete-event simulation system for manufacturing systems, independent from any particular commercial software system. This document defines the context, scope and information requirements for discrete-event simulation models of manufacturing systems, according to the guidelines established for National Institute of Standards and Technology Initial Manufacturing Exchange Specification (IMES).
