ft3 HEWLETT ~~PACKARD Simulation Modeling of a Manufacturing Enterprise with Complex Material, Information and Control Flows M. Shahid Mujtaba Instruments Photonics Laboratory Manufacturing Systems Technology Department HPL-93-25 March, 1993 modeling, This paper describes practical problems encountered in simulation, modeling and simulating complex system interactions in a manufacturing enterprise. In addition to Production, the enterprise modeling, interactions of diverse activities such 88 Sales Forecasting, enterprise Order Processing, Production planning, Material Requirements simulation, Order-to- Planning, Material Procurement and Distribution are Ship process, object- considered. The preliminary results of such modeling and oriented simulation, simulation are described. A graphical model of the Order-to- Ship (OTS) process, which consisted of the activities that manufacturing occurred between the receipt of orders and the shipment of enterprise modeling, products within a factory, was built using Hierarchical Process manufacturing Modeling (HPM), derived from IDEF-O. Simulation model modeling, object- components for the OTS process were built using Object· Oriented Programming and Discrete-Event Simulation concepts. oriented modeling These reusable components were implemented in the class structure of the Common Lisp Object
