Recent trends in manufacturing have broadly been identified to be toward greater automation and flexibility. Accompanying these changes has been a need for improved decision-making tools, especially regarding short-term production changes such as responses to unpredicted events and changes in production requirements. The transfer of proven design tools such as computer simulation, however, has not yet taken place, limiting the potential productivity improvements of automation. This project will investigate modifications of existing simulation technology to permit real-time decision-making in control of manufacturing facilities. These new simulation capabilities will permit production schedulers, factory managers, and others who must make rapid decision regarding production changes to automatically evaluate the performance of many alternatives, resulting in better decisions and greater productivity. It is expected that this technology will be applicable in any manufacturing facility for use in evaluation of short-term scheduling options, maintenance policies, staffing scenarios, etc. Products developed using this technology would have a significant market across a broad spectrum of manufacturing processes, from microelectronics to automobiles.

制造业最近的趋势被广泛认为是朝着更高的自动化和灵活性发展。伴随这些变化的是对改进决策工具的需求，特别是针对短期生产变化，如对不可预测事件和生产需求变化的响应。然而，经过验证的设计工具（如计算机模拟）的转移尚未发生，这限制了自动化对生产率的潜在提高。该项目将研究现有仿真技术的修改，以允许在控制制造设施方面进行实时决策。这些新的模拟功能将允许生产调度人员、工厂经理和其他必须对生产变化做出快速决策的人员自动评估许多备选方案的性能，从而做出更好的决策和更高的生产率。预计该技术将适用于任何制造工厂，用于评估短期调度方案、维护政策、人员配置方案等。使用这种技术开发的产品将在从微电子到汽车的广泛制造过程中拥有重要的市场。
