Abstract
Manufacturing systems are becoming increasingly more complex at the same time
as competition requires manufacturers to continuously improve their effectiveness
and efficiency. The use of discrete event simulation to model manufacturing systems
is well-established and generally considered to be the method of choice when
analysing what-if scenarios. Simulation is currently predominantly applied when
evaluating manufacturing system design and manufacturing rules and policies.
These applications studies specific attributes and dimensions of the manufacturing
system. To make full use of simulation-based decision-support in operations and
inventory management, a performance measurement system needs to established

These applications studies specific attributes and dimensions of the manufacturing

inventory management, a performance measurement system needs to established
to enable evaluation of simulated scenarios.
In this study, manufacturing simulation and knowledge-based decision support
are linked to performance measurement practises used on real systems. By examining
the characteristics of manufacturing simulation applications as well as the
modelling conditions of discrete event simulation, measurable performance dimensions
on manufacturing simulations are identified. Furthermore, a proposition on
how to design a manufacturing simulation and a performance measurement system
to provide effective decision support is formulated. Based on this, the authors
present a suggestion for a manufacturing organisation on how they should develop
their simulation-based decision support system. (Less)
