Design of a simulation library for CIM
Article Abstract:
Computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) is a management philosophy which uses computer, communication and information technologies to rationalize the functions of design and manufacturing. Specific guidelines were created for the development of simulation software for CIM because modern simulation software that were available were not suitable for CIM-embedded simulation. The prototype was then applied in a function which may serve as an integral part of on-line CIM software.

Simulation of inventory control systems
Article Abstract:
A simulation system for different inventory control systems with varying assumptions is described in terms of objectives, structure of registers and potential applications. The system's objectives are to enable validation of theoretical inventory models, allow for evaluation of inventory and forecast models and to develop a flexible system for analyzing inventory control methods. It can hold up to 255 products together with specific information regarding these products.

Failure predictions in repairable multi-component systems
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to examine failure data of specific mechanical systems. The study considers a nonhomogenous Poisson process (NHPP) and attempts to compare simulation parameters between the NHPP model and Weibull systems. It is shown that the NHPP model exhibits predictive ability in overall systemm performance and provides simulation results of failures from specific system components.
