This paper describes a virtual reality based interface to a dynamic resource allocation scheduler. The model allows a plant engineer to test configuration decisions and scheduling methods in a virtual environment before trying them out in the actual plant. Once the operation of the virtual environment is determined to be stable, the configurations and scheduling methodology can be applied to an actual factory. Real world events in this factory should be obtained for inclusion in the event simulator for iterative refinement of the system
