Abstract
Product form queueing networks (pfqn) and generalized stochastic Petri nets (gspn) have emerged as the principal performance modelling tools for flexible manufacturing systems (fms). In this paper, we present integratedpfqn-gspnmodels, which combine the computational efficiency ofpfqnand representational power ofgspnby employing the principle of flow-equivalence. We show thatfmsthat include nonproduct form characteristics such as dynamic routing and synchronization can be evaluated efficiently and accurately using the integrated models.
