Analysis and Design of Production Systems

本课题是对生产系统的分析和设计进行全面的研究。该研究将集中于算法和数学模型、通用计算机模块化软件、硬件模拟器的协调发展，并将这些元素集成到生产系统的总体设计工具中。容量、配置和操作控制设计问题将由设计工具来解决。这项工作将包括完整的算法开发文档和在真实数据上进行测试和验证的原型实现。两所大学将合作开展这项工作。这项研究的产品将为后续适合直接工业应用的生产级设计工具的商业开发提供坚实的基础。这将导致生产力的提高。

This proposal is to conduct a comprehensive research effort on the analysis and design of production systems. The research will focus on the coordinated development of algorithms and mathematical models, general purpose computer modular software, a hardware simulator, and the integration of these elements into an overall design tool for production systems. Capacity, configuration, and operation-control design issues will be addressed by the design tool. The work will include complete algorithmic development documentation and a prototype implementation tested and validated on real data. Two universities will collaborate on this work. The product of this research will provide solid foundations for the subsequent commercial development of production-grade design tools suitable for direct industrial applications. This should result in increased productivity.
