We consider discrete stochastic optimization problems where the objective function can only be estimated by a simulation oracle; the oracle is defined only at the discrete points....
As an adaptation of the CONWIP concept, AMD has developed a heuristic approach to control the WIP in its wafer fabrication facilities (fabs). The so called "Loop Control"...
In this paper we lay the foundations for studying decisionmaking in complex dynamic construction management scenarios using situational simulations as experimental testbeds. We dr...
In the automotive area, a huge number of different technologies were developed in the last couples of years. The car manufacturers have to meet the challenge of selecting the most...
Recent advances in high-performance computing have pushed computational capabilities to a petaflop (a thousand trillion operations per second) in a single computing cluster. This ...
The requirements on production systems and their planning and control systems are constantly growing. Systems have to be flexible and provide viable solutions at the same time. Di...

Many general-purpose simulation languages (such as ARENA, SLAM II, GPSS/H, SIMAN etc) have been the major simulation tools to simulate the demand-supply processes. They have made ...
In this study, a single-item two-echelon inventory system where the items can be stored in each of N stocking locations is optimized using simulation. The aim of this study is to ...
