RAPIDSIM – software for supporting PPC and DES systems integration

In the paper RapidSim software for supporting production planning and control (PPC) and discrete event simulation (DES) systems integration has been presented. RapidSim system is a computer implementation of a methodology based on the automatic generation of production systems simulation models methods, data mapping and transformation methods and data-to-program code transformation and is designed for multi-assortment production systems. Application of shown software together with developed data structures and data transformation definitions provides complete and fully flexible solution that could be used with any commercial PPC and DES systems.
