The design details of a new rule-oriented simulator for modeling the production related issues in a Just-in-time (JIT) system are discussed in this paper. The user interacts with the simulator and provides input data related to a JIT system and the simulation experiment. The simulation model is generated automatically by the computer using the rules selected from a domain-specific rulebase. The machine utilization, system throughput, number and type of kanbans, and average WIP levels are some of the results generated by the simula tor. The design was originally implemented using LISP on an IBM 4381 computer and subsequently extended to Macintosh and Sun workstations.
