This paper describes a simulation-based parameter design (PD) approach for optimizing machine operating strategy under stochastic running conditions. The approach presents a Taguchi-based definition to the PD problem in ...

The purpose of this paper is to develop a simulation-based value function (VF) that combines multiple key performance indicators (KPIs) into a unified Sigma rating (SR) for system-level performance assessment and improvement. ...

This paper proposes an approach for enhancing the performance of public departments that are characterized by congestion and low efficiency. The proposed approach utilizes discrete-event simulation (DES) tools integrated ...

Supply Chain Management (SCM) is focused on developing, optimizing, and operating efficient supply chains. Efficient supply chains are characterized by cost effective decisions, lean flow and structure, high degree of ...

This paper investigates the impact of capacity constraints on the stability boundaries of two tier supply chain. System dynamic simulation using iThink Software has been applied to explore the impact of different levels ...
