Construction operations are often repetitive not only in terms of time (the same tasks are performed over and over) but also in terms of space (the same tasks are repeated at seve...
Eight successively refined simulation models for the earthmoving operations involved in the construction of a dam provide the foundation for illustrating the ease and effectivenes...
Chain conveyors are a specific type of conveyor often used in a variety of manufacturing and production applications, such as body and paint shops. These conveyors must typically ...

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...
