Abstract:

The project type manufacturing process is quite common in shipbuilding and construction industries. Aiming at the problem that the existing discrete manufacturing system modeling and simulation method for flow shop cannot effectively express and imitate this process, taking shipyard dock shop hoisting process as an example, we analyze its components structure, propose a working network-centric, information flow and work flow integrated simulation modelling method, and design a dedicated simulation algorithm with the task process interactive idea. A prototype simulation program is developed with Python language, and the effectiveness of the proposed modelling and simulation method is verified through a case study with a group of actual shipyard dock hoisting data, which can provide reference for the research application of discrete-event simulation technology on the project type manufacturing system simulation.

Key words: project type manufacturing, dock shop hoisting, information flow integration, discrete-event simulation
