<p class="Abstract">In this study, we present a methodology to build data-driven simulation models of manufacturing plants. We go further than other research proposals and we suggest focusing simulation model development under a 4-layer architecture (network, logic, database and visual reality). The Network layer includes system infrastructure. The Logic layer covers operations planning and control system, and material handling equipment system. The Database holds all the information needed to perform the simulation, the results used to analyze and the values that the Logic layer is using to manage the Plant. Finally, the Visual Reality displays an augmented reality system including not only the machinery and the movement but also blackboards and other Andon elements. This architecture provides numerous advantages as helps to build a simulation model that consistently considers the internal logistics, in a very flexible way.</p>

The paper focuses on the main components of the logistics planning process and justifies the connection between the qualitative planning of the required number of units and the availability factor of aircraft. We consider the potential of simulation modeling as applied to the study of the complex systems behavior, and substantiate the application of such modeling in the inventory planning and control system for the operation of state aircraft. It was found that the availability factor, the health coefficient and the cost of purchasing spare parts can serve as efficiency criteria. The increased aircraft availability or serviceability is achieved by minimizing downtime due to the lack of spare parts. In our research we describe the simulation model of inventory stock usage and test the model for aircraft operating as part of an aviation regiment. The simulation model showed almost complete coincidence with the results of an analytical model of a queuing system. This means that when planning material and technical support, on the basis of this simulation model, it is possible to build more complex models for analyzing multi-inventory stocks without applying a complex mathematical apparatus. The model can be used as a tool for planning the required number of units for the operation of state aircraft.

The growth in horticultural and some industrial development in selected areas of Northland has led to a need for more specific and careful planning and control of limited resources in a number of major catchments. The potential irrigation demands for horhculture comprise over 60% of Northland's potential water requirements. By contrast, farm water supply needs are only 11% of these needs. Because of their importance to the Northland economy, and in the legislation these needs are given a high priority in water resource management planning. Land uses, including pastoral farming, require careful operation to reduce diffuse sources of pollution.
