SysML Model Libraries Supporting Discrete Event Logistics Systems (DELS) Models

System models and model-based engineering methods have the promise of transforming the way that industrial engineers interact with production and logistics systems. Model-based methods play a role in improving communication between stakeholders, interoperability between systems, automated access to consistent analysis models, and multi-disciplinary design methods for complex systems. However, there remains a need for a foundation for modeling these kinds of systems -- a foundation that tailors the methods and tools developed in other engineering domains to the unique concepts and semantics of the production and logistics domain. This necessary foundation is the topic of these models.
