Workflows Simulation Models as Tools for e-Learning of Graphic Production
Sažetak
Experimenting with a graphic production workflow model motivates students in finding solutions for many situations linked with machine and material exploitation planning. By changing parameters that describe printing capacities and with printing procedure simulation one can get closer to making the best workflow decisions. The software basis is the XML technology and relational databases. It is insisted that graphic display should be in SVG technology. There is possibility of reaching the program and database through the web system like e-Learning tool. The possibility has been given thereby to constantly test ideas in respect to possible graphic production solutions. Before entering the area of experimenting and changing parameters describing graphic production processes, estimates and the offer are made, and the plan for linking workflows is carried out. Accent is on the thesis that any product may be made in many ways. Simulation is the basis for discussion on the quality of the graphic production proposed solutions. All programs have been created on basis of real tasks in respect to graphic production calculations in printing plants. The experimental student variant gives possibility to develop a great number of situations without fear that this will cause expenses and damage. Experiments with extreme ideas are allowed as the parameter for prohibited, impossible solutions.
