MANUFACTURING SIMULATION IN ANYLOGIC
A simulation model is a multi-purpose tool for study of complex systems, which is a logical and algorithmic description of the behavior of individual system elements and the rules of their interaction, displaying the sequence of events that occur in the simulated system. Simulation modeling allows testing, evaluating and conducting experiments with the system under study without any direct effects on it. Today, simulation modeling is used in various fields: economy, industry, environmental protection, information security, transport, to name just a few. Currently, there is a wide range of structural and simulation modeling systems on the market. The article provides a brief description of simulation system AnyLogic developed by The AnyLogic Company. AnyLogic is a modern simulation environment for probabilistic objects. AnyLogic supports the standard Java language and provides full-scale information exchange with the Rail Yard Library system for integrated modeling, result processing, analysis, and documentation. AnyLogic provides extensive Java analysis capabilities. In order to assess the results of work in AnyLogic, the article describes the simulation results obtained in AnyLogic. Queuing systems are used as an example: M/M/5. The study shows that the system is well usable and can improve the efficiency of work, increasing reliability of the results and reducing the complexity of research. The article is intended to describe the outcome of AnyLogic simulation, taking into account the reliability of the simulation results, ease of use, availability of necessary functionality of the system. The manufacturing simulation in limited manufacturing time revealed the advantages and disadvantages of AnyLogic. The article is based on the results of a free version of the system.
