Characterizing the transient behavior of queueing systems is a difficult problem, which has been addressed by either simplified analytical models or simulation. We seek to capture...
This paper is motivated by a case study performed at a company that manufactures two main types of customized products. In an effort to significantly increase their throughput cap...
Discrete Rate Simulation (DRS) is a modeling methodology that uses event based logic to simulate linear continuous processes and hybrid systems. These systems are concerned with t...
Workflow analysis is an important component in the simulation of construction operations. It involves creating a specific number of work requests for a crew every time period, com...

Developing mechanisms for the efficient exchange of information between simulations and other manufacturing tools is a critical problem. For many areas of manufacturing, neither r...
Metamodels are functions with calibrated parameters, used actions and simplifications of the simulation model. A metamodel exposes the system’s input-output relationship and ca...
This paper proposes an analytical model useful in the design of conveyor-based Automated Material Handling Systems (AMHS) to support semiconductor manufacturing. The objective is ...

The Monte Carlo and discrete-event simulation code associated with the Simulation 101 pre-conference workshop (offered at the 2006, 2007, and 2008 Winter Simulation Conferences) i...
In this paper, we address a generalized method of mapping a control system simulation model to the PLC emulator being tested using model variables and PLC tags under the offline c...
