Simulation of sustainability aspects within the industrial environment and their implication on the simulation technique

2010 , Rabe, M. , Jäkel, F.-W. , Weinaug, H.

Simulation is a broadly excepted analytic instrument and planning tool. Today, industrial simulation is mainly applied for engineering and physical purposes and covers a short time horizon compared to intergenerational justice. In parallel, sustainability is gaining more importance for the industrial planning because themes like global warming, child labour, and compliance with social and environmental standards have to be taken into account. Sustainability is characterized by comprehensively examining the three dimensions economy, ecology and social questions as well as their long-term perspective. Adequate indicators and an adaptation of simulation methods and procedures are necessary to evaluate the sustainability of industrial processes. A further challenge is the consideration of sust ainability effects coming from the usual manufacturing process structure of a value creation network, in particular from cross-company cooperation and geographically distributed production. This article analyses the implications of those advanced tasks on the simulation technique and their application and proposes a conceptual framework for the simulation of such networks, which differentiates the effects of sustainability by the level of decision making within enterprises.

Distributed modelling and simulation of supply chains

2005 , Mertins, K. , Rabe, M. , Jäkel, F.-W.

The behaviour of supply chains, especially those in which several enterprises are involved, is often difficult to predict. For the analysis of such systems, which cannot be evaluated by analytical models, discrete event simulation is an adequate technology. The competence of the local engineers about the single chain elements has to be incorporated into the simulation models. This can be done best by establishing local models, representing the local section of the supply chain. Up to now, integrating such local models into one complete model was time consuming and error prone. Even more critical, local maintenance of partial models was inhibited. A new approach solves this problem, exploiting the advantages of distributed simulation. Furthermore, this approach provides encapsulation, if supply chain partners do not wish to publish details of their node to other partners. The interfacing description is based on the High Level Architecture (HLA) and generates Extensible Markup Language (XML) files, which provide a specification of each supply chain node and its interfaces.
