Manufacturing Applications
Track Coordinators: Christoph Laroque, University of Paderborn; Richard Wysk, North Carolina State University; Edward Williams, PMC
The Manufacturing Applications track is interested in research and case studies using simulation in industrial applications found in the automotive, aircraft and shipbuilding industries, among others. Simulation is a well-established model-based methodology for analyzing dynamical inter-dependencies in manufacturing systems. Manufacturing applications relate to the model-based analysis of (i) all production and logistics processes within a company or along a supply chain, and (ii) all phases of a system life cycle, such as system acquisition, system design and planning, implementation, start of operation, ramp-up, as well as the operation itself. A contribution has to describe the aims of investigation, the investigated system, the simulation model, the experimental plan, the simulation findings, and any implementation results. Additionally, specific challenges like system complexity, data collection and preparation, or verification and validation may be pointed out.
