MM-DSL, support for implementing modelling tools for manufacturing processes
Today’s competitive conditions call for detailed comparative analyzes of manufacturing processes in order to get competitive products. This analysis involves the development of faithful and robust models for the supervision and management of all organizational and operational activities of companies. Efficient modelling involves the selection and use of appropriate tools for modelling, simulation and analysis of manufacturing processes. The diversity of manufacturing processes often makes it necessary to implement specific modelling tools. MM-DSL is a platform independent language for specifying and implementing specific modelling tools. The core objective of the MM-DSL language is the implementation of the modelling method concept. The paper presents the mechanisms underlying the MM-DSL language as well as its use for building the modelling tools specific to the manufacturing systems.
