Abstract

The paper describes the features and attributes of the CORE requirements analysis tool in a simulation environment and the associated implementation via the FORSS software package. This method is applied to the analysis of a proposed automated manufacturing facility which involves the integration of a power-and-free conveyor system into the paint sprayshop of a manual treatments facility. Practical results for the simulation model are presented.
