Abstract
Simulation has become the most widely used computer based performance evaluation tool for FMS design and analysis due to the complexity of the interaction of the dynamic components in these systems. Simulation models can incorporate a great level of detail and capture the time dynamic behavior of these systems. RENSAM (Rensselaer’s Simulator for Automated Manufacturing) is a generic simulation model that takes advantage of the underlying structure of manufacturing systems. RENSAM is an adaptive system’ in that it consists of a generic GPSS simulation model which provides a high level of flexibility in modeling a wide spectrum of FMS configurations. This paper presents a description of RENSAM system and its capabilities as an analysis tool are illustrated by means of a case study.
