The seven- and eight-figure price tags on flexible manufacturing systems and other high-tech equipment for today's factories demand that system designers 'get it right the first time'. The extended, factory-floor debugging processes of yesterday are no longer acceptable. Their price-in lost production time or lost orders-has simply become too high. The author describes how GE Aircraft Engines is addressing these 'immediate productivity' demands for new manufacturing systems with advanced factory simulation technology.
