20060129970, Jun 15, 2006

Filed:

Dec 15, 2004

Appl. No.:

11/012901

Inventors:

Martin Haas - Hudson OH, US
Robert Schreiber - St. Louis MO, US
Thomas Stauder - Belleville IL, US

International Classification:

G06F 9/44

US Classification:

717104000, 717135000

Abstract:

The present invention comprises systems and methods for production planning analysis using discrete event simulation methods. In one embodiment, a system includes a first software module to receive process definition data for the production process that organizes the data into a suitable formatted input file that defines the process. A second software module performs a discrete event simulation on the input file and generates an output file. A third software module generates at least one user accessible file from the output file. In another embodiment, a method of analyzing a manufacturing process includes receiving process definition data for the manufacturing process, and generating an input file from the process definition data. The method further includes processing the input file in a discrete event simulation (DES) engine to generate selected statistical data for the process, and generating an output file that includes the selected statistical data.

Appl. No.:

11/533590

Inventors:

Martin C. Haas - Hudson OH, US
Thomas G. Stauder - Belleville IL, US

International Classification:

G06G 7/62

US Classification:

703 17

Abstract:

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for simulating a process. Data is received describing a process to form received data. A current discrete event simulation model is formed from the received data in a discrete event simulation engine, wherein the current discrete event simulation model includes a current schedule having a plurality of ordered tasks. A simulation of the current discrete event simulation model is performed in the discrete event simulation engine, wherein results are generated from running the current discrete event simulation model. Finally, a new schedule is generated from the current schedule and the results using schedule analysis tool.

International Classification:

G06G 7/66
G06G 7/62

US Classification:

703 17

Abstract:

Techniques for performing discrete event process simulations are described. A first software module receives production process data and configures the data into a precedence format. The precedence data is then provided to a second software module which modifies the precedence data by introducing variability into the data. A third software module is then selected based on whether processing speed or graphics capability is desired. The selected third software module then performs a discrete event process simulation using the modified data. The results of the discrete event simulation are then provided to the second software module which presents results of the simulation to the user.
