A new FMS simulator was developed. The simulator has a function to make a workers model, and has various kinds of output functions applicable to production scheduling. In the first stage example, the simulator was applied to a real FMS. For the estimate, the total production time was considered, and the scheduling problem, that is, the selection of the dispatching rule for the introduction of the parts by the workers was solved using the simulator. In this approach, for the complicated FMSs under several conditions, simulation experiments can be performed, and results obtained form the FMS can be discussed easily. In this application example for a real FMS, several results were obtained.
