Abstract
The object-oriented representation of manufacturing systems appears to be a promising way to encompass the limits of more traditional tools that have been used in the past for the modelling of manufacturing systems. The paper compares traditional modelling techniques to the approach of object-oriented modelling and reviews the state of the art of the object-oriented applications developed within the manufacturing context. As a conclusion, guidelines for the development of a comprehensive object-oriented representation of manufacturing systems are outlined.
