Organised by: Cranfield UniversityIn manufacturing industry, Discrete Event Simulation (DES) is applied in just a small fraction of the cases
where it could give significant value. The complexity of the DES technology itself is one barrier to achieving
its full potential in manufacturing system design. This paper focuses on methodologies which can be used in
studying the modelling process, with the specific intent of integrating DES into the engineering design
process of manufacturing systems. Ethnographical methodologies are proposed, as they are successfully
applied to the analysis of the engineering design process. Observations from industrial practice indicate that
visualisation in DES software is essential for the sequential verification of design activities.Mori Seiki – The Machine Tool Compan
