The area of integrating simulation and optimization has recently undergone remarkable changes. New advances are making available applications of simulation that previously had bee...
In this paper, we identify and discuss the features we believe are key to the successful use of simulation as a manufacturing support tool. The discussion begins with three sample...
Overlapping batch statistics estimate the variance of point estimators using overlapping batches (Schmeiser, Avramidis and Hashem 1990). In this paper we study sufficient conditio...
Until the day when plant production personnel and equipment have no downtime, proper collection and analysis of downtime data will be essential to the development of valid, credib...
