基于计算机的仿真是制造系统设计最有价值的辅助工具之一，但其用途仍然有限。其主要原因是当前的制造系统极其复杂，即使是最先进的仿真工具提供的用户友好功能也不足以应对这种复杂性。在此基础上，本文探索了一种改进工具的开发，以简化和加速复杂制造系统的仿真建模。考虑了一家主要汽车制造商创建并当前使用的仿真接口，并对该接口支持仿真建模过程的程度进行了严格评估。本文评估了使用该接口作为通用仿真建模工具基础的可行性，该工具能够应对任何复杂的制造系统，分析其潜在价值，并提出可支持制造业内采用仿真技术的开发方案。
Computer-based simulation is one of the most valuable aids for manufacturing systems design, yet its use remains limited. The main reason for this is that current manufacturing systems are extremely complex and the user-friendly capabilities provided even by the most advanced simulation tools are not sufficient to cope with such complexity. On this basis, the paper explores the development of an improved tool to ease and speed up simulation modelling of complex manufacturing systems. A simulation interface, created and currently used at a major automotive manufacturer, is considered and a rigorous assessment of the extent to which this interface can support the simulation modelling process is provided. The paper evaluates the viability to use the interface as a basis for a general purpose simulation modelling tool capable of coping with any complex manufacturing systems, analyses its potential values, and proposes developments that can support the uptake of simulation techniques within the manufacturing industry.
