Abstract
Simulation models are built arid used in situations where experiments on the real world are not possible or not recommendable. Manufacturing systems are systems of this kind. Experiments are expensive, time consuming and often dangerous. Consequently they have become one of the most often handled and quoted application fields of simulation. The authors, involved in two research projects of Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS) Simulation, report about goals, methods, tools, and problems.
