Abstract

Mass Customization Manufacturing (MCM) systems possess special characteristics that make the modeling of such systems extremely difficult. These characteristics include concurrency, synchronization, and cooperation among subsystems. To support the development and analysis of these systems, new approaches to modeling and simulation must be developed. In this paper, an architecture for a modeling and simulation platform to support MCM is presented. The platform can represent solutions to problems such as dynamic rescheduling, shop reconfiguration, and multi-robot cooperation and coordination.
