In this paper object-oriented design and the reuse of FMS components in new applications using a hybrid simulation and scheduling system (SSS) will be introduced. The goal of this research is to provide methods and tools to build up FMS simulation models easily, fast and reliable. Simulation is one of the most effective tools for assisting in the design of FMS. SSS has been implemented as a combination of a traditional simulation language (SIMAN/Cinema) and an intelligent expert environment (G2). The application of the real-time, intelligent G2 environment points to one of our recent R&D goal, to intelligent, real-time control of FMS. Reuse in SIMAN/Cinema and in G2 will be analyzed separately and together in general, and in the context of FMS to get acceptable solutions, to build up new simulation models fast and reliable reusing elements of previous, different other models. The design methodology used for model development is based on the object-oriented Rational Rose CASE tool and on use-case design of the OOSE methodology.
