| Abstract | Prominent in the list of disadvantages in using simulation are cost and development time. A
simulation model may become expensive in terms of manpower, computer time and tool used.
Extensive development time may also be encountered since most simulation models are large
and complicated. However, incorporating principles of flexibility and reusability may help
every model builder leverage the time spent on model development. But looking at the present
medium where simulation is built, it is difficult to develop flexible simulation. The
environment limits the reuse of model to few users due to non-portability across different
computer platforms. On the other hand, with the advent of the web that encourages the reuse
of objects within simulation models, this provides a solution to development time and cost
reduction.
This study explores the possibility of that concept by integrating Web and the field of
simulation, focusing on its effect on model development, distribution, analysis and training
within the context of manufacturing system application. Implementing web-based simulation
by building SimProd, a web-based simulation library for simulating manufacturing system.
Although the result shows that web-based simulators are inherently slow compare to
native application, being more reliable, reusable, inter-operable and platform independent
makes it an attractive option for simulating in the manufacturing environment. |
