Abstract
A manufacturing system simulator plays an important role in designing new systems. However, as simulators depend on particular usage, the modeling method of each simulator is different. Therefore simulation users cannot cooperate when using different models. In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to be able to integrate different models in each simulator. The purpose of this research is to develop a method of integration between the simulators which do not have the rollback function.
In this paper, we propose a concept for the integration between simulators without the rollback function using a storage model concept for manufacturing system designs. The functions and the implementation method for the proposed concept are described. Then, a case study carried out to evaluate the performance of the cooperative work, is presented.
