IDEF method-based simulation model design and development framework
Abstract: The purpose of this
study is to provide an IDEF method-based integrated framework for a business
process simulation model to reduce the model development time by increasing the
communication and knowledge reusability during a simulation project. In this framework,
simulation requirements are collected by a function modeling method (IDEF0) and
a process modeling method (IDEF3). Based on these requirements, a common data
model is constructed using the IDEF1X method. From this reusable data model,
multiple simulation models are automatically generated using a database-driven
simulation model development approach. The framework is claimed to help both
requirement collection and experimentation phases during a simulation project
by improving system knowledge, model reusability, and maintainability through
the systematic use of three descriptive IDEF methods and the features of the
relational database technologies. A complex semiconductor fabrication case
study was used as a testbed to evaluate and illustrate the concepts and the
framework. Two different simulation software products were used to develop and
control the semiconductor model from the same knowledge base. The case study
empirically showed that this framework could help improve the simulation
project processes by using IDEF-based descriptive models and the relational
database technology. Authors also concluded that this framework could be easily
applied to other analytical model generation by separating the logic from the
data.
