“…Virtual manufacturing (VM) is one of the applications of applying VR technology in manufacturing applications. Researchers at the University of Maryland have introduced the concept of virtual manufacturing in 1995 [3], while the contribution and achievements of VM have been reviewed by Shukla et al [4] Virtual manufacturing is defined as a computer system which is capable of generating information about the structure, status, and behaviour of a manufacturing system as can be observed in a real manufacturing environment [5]. The vision of virtual manufacturing is to provide a capability to "manufacture in the computer".…”

“…The application of VR to manufacturing is called Virtual Manufacturing (VM). VM has been defined as the use of VR or computers for the development of a product (Shukla et al, 1996). The advantages of VM range from the improvement of the decision making process to cost reduction (Mujber et al, 2004), to the enhancement of risk measures and control of manufacturing processes (Lee et al, 2001).…”

2Jaguar Land Rover, Virtual Innovation Centre (VIC) (bwaterf1@jaguarlandrover.com) Abstract. Virtual Reality (VR) can reduce time and costs, and lead to an increase in quality, in the development of a product. Given the pressure on car companies to reduce time-to-market and to continually improve quality the automotive industry has championed the use of VR across a number of applications, including design, manufacturing, and training. This paper describes interviews with 11 stakeholders from an automotive manufacturer about their current physical and virtual properties and processes. The results guided a review of research findings and scientific advances from the academic literature, which formed the basis of recommendations for future developments of VR technologies and applications. These include: develop a greater range of virtual contexts; use multi-sensory simulation; address perceived differences between virtual and real cars; improve motion capture capabilities; implement networked 3D technology; and use VR for market research.

“…New trends in production planning which have begun to appear in terms of digital manufacturing, virtual manufacturing and virtual factory in accordance with demands of industries, such as outstanding progress of information technologies (IT) can help manage the dynamic situation in production systems (Shukla et al 1996, Kraftcheck et al 1997, Ka´da´r et al 2004, Kuehn 2006. Therefore, manufacturing modelling and simulation (M&S) in large and complex shipbuilding projects have been attempted in order to increase the productivity of a shipyard and to create more innovative building processes (Aoyama et al 1999, Shin et al 2001, Shin et al 2004, Steinhauser 2005, Kaarsemaker and Nienhuis 2006, Lamb et al 2006, Nedess et al 2006.…”

The management of a panel block shop in a shipyard is a complex process that entails the largest amount of work and in which many decisions are involved. Shipbuilders have considered the process as a bottleneck since every panel for every ship must be processed through the shop. The objective of this research is to carry out a materials flow analysis to maximise process productivity and to place simulation optimisation technology in the hands of decision makers, such as production planners and supervisors. In this article, a production execution planning system is proposed for panel block operations utilising discrete-event simulation and simulated annealing. The simulation model was validated using a real production scenario and the comparison showed a very favourable agreement between the actual panel shop and the simulation model. The proposed system supports production planners by general dispatching rules and optimisation to make better scheduling decisions on the shop floor. The system will provide a complete schedule that is at least as clear and accurate as any schedule currently obtained.
