Automatic Generation of Simulation Models from Neutral Libraries: An Example

July 1, 2000
Author(s)
Albert T. Jones, R A. Wysk, Y J. Son
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have proposed the development of neutral libraries of simulation components. The availability of such libraries would simplify the generation of simulation models, enable component-based

Monitoring and Controlling Operations

July 1, 2000
Author(s)
Albert T. Jones, Evan K. Wallace, Yuehwern Yih
This work is a chapter in a forthcoming Handbook of Industrial Engineering. The chapter contains five sections. In addition to a short introduction and a shorter summary, this paper has three technical sections. The first section talks about control

NIST Response to MES Request for Information

September 1, 1999
Author(s)
Edward J. Barkmeyer Jr., Peter O. Denno, Shaw C. Feng, Evan K. Wallace, Albert T. Jones
This is a response from the National Institute of Standards (NIST) to OMG's Request for Information concerning the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) area [RFI3]. There has been quite a bit of previous work at NIST, related to this RFI which influenced

Testing of Interaction-driven Manufacturing Systems

December 2, 1998
Author(s)
Katherine C. Morris, David W. Flater, Donald E. Libes, Albert W. Jones
As automation of manufacturing processes becomes more widespread, manufacturing systems are becoming more and more software dependent. At the same time, the software used is becoming more and more modularized allowing for the creation of customized systems

Survey of Job Shop Scheduling Techniques

August 1, 1998
Author(s)
Albert T. Jones, Luis C. Rabelo
A large number of approaches to the modeling and solution of job shop scheduling problems have been reported in the Operations Research (OR) literature, with varying degrees of success. These approaches revolve around a series of technological advances

Production Systems Engineering: Requirements Analysis for Discrete-Event Simulation

June 1, 1998
Author(s)
Anna Bartolotta, Charles R. McLean, Yung-Tsun T. Lee, Albert W. Jones
This document describes the results of the requirement analysis phase for a neutral interface specification to discrete event simulation software. The interface specification should provide a neutral mechanism capable of describing input data to a discrete

Requirements Analysis: Process Plan Specification - Workstation Level

June 1, 1998
Author(s)
Kimberley Ellis, Albert T. Jones, Yung-Tsun Lee
The Computer-Aided Manufacturing Engineering (CAME) program is developing a number of integrated software toolkits for design, manufacturing engineering, and production operations. One of these toolkits is the Manufacturing Engineering ToolKit (METK). The

A Simulation-Based BRP Support System for Supply Chain Management

January 1, 1998
Author(s)
Shigeki Umeda, Albert W. Jones
Modern manufacturing enterprises must collaborate with a large number of suppliers to design and produce their products. Management of these supply chains is crucial. This paper proposes a simulation-based supply chain management system, which supports the

Industrial Need: Production Management Standards

August 1, 1997
Author(s)
Albert T. Jones, Charles R. McLean
The High Performance Computing and Communications (HPCC) program was formally established by the High Performance Computing Acto of 1991 (Public Law 102-194). T The goal of this program is to accelerate the development of future generations of high

An Analysis of AP213 for Usage as a Process Plan Exchange Format

January 1, 1997
Author(s)
Michael Iuliano, Albert W. Jones, Shaw C. Feng
The objective of the Computer-Aided Manufacturing Engineering (CAME) project is to identify generic interfaces which can be used to demonstrate the integration of manufacturing engineering software applications. A number of software tool kits are

Simulation in Japan: State-of-the-Art Update

January 1, 1997
Author(s)
Shigeki Umeda, Albert W. Jones
Computer hardware continues to decrease in cost and increase in power. Simulation vendors have hypothesized that this trend, together with new requirements for system integration, have produced a new business environment for discrete-event simulation all
