Formalized description and computer simulation of the operation of flexible production systems

Abstract

The development of computer models for flexible machining systems is considered. The proposed approach permits detailed modeling at the level of each technological operation. It takes account of the influence of the parameters of the technological processes and equipment, the interaction algorithms, and the dispatch rules. This approach may be employed in the development of methods for the creation of flexible production systems, in system design and operation, and in the study of manufacturing equipment.
