Performance Evaluation

Performance Evaluation tool is an OntoGuiWeb module supporting the definition of production plans that are need to evaluate the performance of a production system.

A production plan is defined in terms of:

• Duration

• Production Batches to be produced. Batches are in turn defined by:

  • Part Type

  • Quantity

  • Process Plan

• Production Systems whose elements can be used to execute the production plan

• Controllers managing the execution of the production plan

In addition, a production plan can be associated with one or more performance histories describing the actual or simulated execution of the production plan. A performance history can be instantiated from a log of events (see "Import from TXT file") provided by a monitoring systems or generated by a performance evaluation method, e.g. discrete event simulation (DES). A Mixed-integer Linear Programming (MILP) version of a DES is available.
