Abstract

Under the pressure of shortening product life cycle to cope with turbulent market environment, manufacturing industry has to re-configure factory more and more in order to promote sustainable growth. Therefore the modularization and standardisation become key objectives for life cycle oriented plant design. This paper introduces the implementation of modular plant design, which is a result of EU-funded project "Modular Plant Architecture" (MPA). Object Oriented, Virtual Reality and Discrete Event Simulation technologies are adopted in this project.
