Resumen

The design of a manufacturing facility is a process that has important consequences during the whole lifespan of the system. In this paper, a case study shows a new methodology to solve design decision problems in discrete event systems (DEVS). This technique is based in the Alternatives Aggregation Petri nets (AAPN). This new type of Petri net allows to develop a unique model to cope with a disjunctive optimisation problem. This problem arises from the alternative systems accepted as feasible solutions for the layout and composition of the system. A comparison with a traditional approach shows that the new method can deal with a complex design problem in less time and with similar accuracy in the solution.
