Abstract:

The process of aircraft manufacturing is very complex. A simulation model can help engineers understand the complex process and identify the bottlenecks in the systems. This paper describes an application of advanced simulation techniques, fuzzy methods and experiences to a production scheduling system. Fuzzy simulation model and software systems are developed. These are used to study the feasibility of production plan and to satisfy the specific needs of an aircraft company.

Key words: aircraft manufacturing, production scheduling, fuzzy simulation
