Ejemplos prácticos para el modelado, la simulación y el análisis de procesos de fabricación.

Una de las grandes dificultades en la resolución de los problemas logísticos en la industria estriba en el desconocimiento sobre cuál va a ser el alcance de una decisión; no sólo en cuanto a la respuesta esperada, sino también de qué forma afectará indirectamente sobre otros aspectos y parámetros de rendimiento del sistema. El éxito de las técnicas de simulación como herramienta de ayuda a la toma de decisiones en logística, es poder formalizar la experiencia y conocimiento adquirido en la gestión del sistema, para poder discutir, evaluar y prever las mejoras alternativas para alcanzar los objetivos. En este obra, se introducen los principales conceptos y características de las herramientas de simulación orientadas a eventos discretos para la mejora de los sistemas de producción, de servicios y logísticos.

This book presents for the first time a methodology that combines the power of a modelling formalism such as colored petri nets with the flexibility of a discrete event program such as SIMIO. Industrial practitioners have seen the growth of simulation as a methodology for tacking problems in which variability is the common denominator. Practically all industrial systems, from manufacturing to aviation are considered stochastic systems. Different modelling techniques have been developed as well as mathematical techniques for formalizing the cause-effect relationships in industrial and complex systems. The methodology in this book illustrates how complexity in modelling can be tackled by the use of coloured petri nets, while at the same time the variability present in systems is integrated in a robust fashion. The book can be used as a concise guide for developing robust models, which are able to efficiently simulate the cause-effect relationships present in complex industrial systems without losing the simulation power of discrete-event simulation. In addition SIMIO’s capabilities allows integration of features that are becoming more and more important for the success of projects such as animation, virtual reality, and geographical information systems (GIS).

Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Industrial Management and the XVI Congreso de Ingeniería de Organización (CIO 2012). The aim of CIO is to establish a forum for the open and free exchange of ideas, opinions and academic experiences about research, technology transfer or successful business experiences in the field of Industrial Engineering. The CIO 2012 is an annual meeting promoted by “Asociación para el Desarrollo de la Ingeniería de Organización” (Industrial Engineers Association, ADINGOR) with a Scientific Committee composed of 61 international referees and more than 200 professionals from 7 countries. A selection of the lectures and presentations made over three days by researchers and practitioners from different countries are presented here. A range of topics is covered including: A selection of the lectures and presentations made over three days by researchers and practitioners from different countries are presented here.
