Using simulation, Headway Technologies predicted that increasing staffing among a group of already lightly loaded machine operators--"overstaffing"--would significantly ...
The requirements, design principles, and statistical testing approaches of uniform random number generators for simulation are briefly surveyed. An objectoriented random number pa...
This paper presents a hierarchical approach on the simulation of large-scale discrete event systems used recently by Kiran Consulting Group (KCG) to model shipyard operations. Bec...
Prior to the deployment of any new or replacement component within a transportation system, it should be demonstrated that the modified system meets or exceeds the safety requirem...
Visualizing simulated construction operations is an effective means of communicating the logic and the inner working of simulation models in a comprehensive and comprehendible man...
The purpose of this paper is to describe (a) why simulation is necessary to evaluate check-in, (b) a simulation toolbox for check-in counters and (c) Two case studies for Amsterda...
This paper presents a case study of using simulation for analyzing the impact of proposed changes in the supply chain processes for a large logistics operation. The major changes ...

Simulations often execute too slowly to be effective tools for decision-making. In particular, this problem has been found in semiconductor manufacturing where conventional job-dr...
Recent trends in automotive manufacturing have increased the focus on the Just-In-Time (JIT) delivery of automotive components. By requiring smaller batches of parts delivered mor...
