Based on presentation to IEEE's 2010 Winter Simulation Conference, Baltimore, Dec. 5-8, 2010. A discrete-event simulation technique, combined with optimization tools, permits easy management of ...

This paper is the first of its type in that it provides an empirical study comparing the two simulation approaches of discrete-event simulation (DES) and system dynamics (SD). Prior comparison work is ...

The Army Armaments Research, Development and Engineering Center's Logistics Research and Engineering Directorate (LRED) at Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey, builds discrete event simulation (DES) process ...

Data truncation is a commonly accepted method of dealing with initialization bias in discrete-event simulation. An algorithm for determining the appropriate initial-data truncation point for ...

This module provides an in-depth review of simulation rationale, techniques and methodologies with a particular focus on discrete event simulation and their practical application to inform healthcare ...

This concentration is intended to prepare students for modeling and simulating various problems related to supply chain management, such as procurement, manufacturing, logistics and distribution, ...

Manufacturers have too many choices when it comes to gaining an edge. Between investing in new equipment, optimizing processes, or taking advantage of AI, the problem is not a lack of ideas. It’s ...
