Abstract

This paper develops a model management system structure to support the design and evaluation of flexible automation systems. A modeling language suitable for one of the important, but ill-structured phases in the evaluation process is selected and used to represent a mathematical programming formulation. The experience gained is then used to propose a meta-language approach for integrating different model types required when evaluating flexible automation investments.
