仿真分析可能是成功实施CIM的关键。记录了一个概念，其中模拟用于在从生产系统布局设计、教育/培训、在线生产调度到实际生产执行的实时控制的所有阶段帮助公司。本文展示了计算机仿真如何集成到制造控制系统中。有了这个概念，就有可能为单个公司定制计算机集成制造（CIM）系统。 该概念基于PC技术，非常灵活，易于使用。案例故事记录了这个概念。

SIMULATION ANALYSES CAN BE THE KEY TO SUCCESSFUL CIM IMPLEMENTATIONS. A CONCEPT IS DOCUMENTED WHERE SIMULATION IS USED TO ASSIST THE COMPANIES IN ALL PHASES FROM DESIGN OF THE PRODUCTION SYSTEM LAYOUT, FOR EDUCATION/TRAINING, FOR ON-LINE PRODUCTION SCHEDULING TO THE REAL TIME CONTROL OF THE PHYSICAL PRODUCTION EXECUTION. IT IS SHOWN HOW COMPUTER SIMULATION IS INTEGRATED IN THE MANUFACTURING CONTROL SYSTEM. WITH THIS CONCEPT, IT IS POSSIBLE TO TAILOR COMPUTER-INTEGRATED MANUFACTURING (CIM) SYSTEMS FOR THE INDIVIDUAL COMPANY. THE CONCEPT IS BASED ON PC TECHNOLOGY AND IS VERY FLEXIBLE AND EASY TO USE. CASE STORIES DOCUMENT THE CONCEPT.
