碩士 === 國立臺北科技大學 === 工業工程與管理研究所 === 95 === Thanks to the growing popularity of automated production system and group technology, FMS (Flexible Manufacturing System) has been extensively adopted to promote more efficient production. Due to the rapid development of production technology, increasing demand for products, and tightening production schedule, both the complexity and scale of production system are on the rise, leading to the birth of the prototype Multi-Section FMS (Multi-Section Flexible Manufacturing System). 　　In designing a simulator for a production system, certain manufacturing scenarios and dispatching rules need to be constructed and integrated through experiments into a virtual production system on a computer for predicting the possibility of certain events and reducing the occurrence of undesirable scenarios. Moreover, the simulator in its emulation mode can be connected to the production system to draw a vivid picture of the gap between the simulator and the production system, thereby improving the reliability of the simulation. 　　Applying the concept of modular design and adopting Colored Petri Net, which couple mathematic theories with graphic orientated characters, as the construction and analysis tool, the study aims to sketch the simulation program for each facility in a certain system. This study proposes a more efficient way to design and establish a Multi-FMS (Multi-Section Flexible Manufacturing system) simulator that can be used as a real time monitor and simulating testing platform for a specific production system.
