Effect of load, processing time and due date variation on the effectiveness of scheduling rules
(Taylor & Francis, 2002)
In real manufacturing environments, variations in production factors (i.e. pro- cessing time, demand, due-dates) are inevitable facts. All these dynamic changes, together with random disturbances (e.g. machine breakdowns) ...
Evaluation of army corps food supply system using simulation
(IEEE, 2003)
The Food Supply System is one of the main elements of the Army Logistics System. The ultimate objective in a food supply system is to provide the food at the right time and in the right amount at the right place. If this ...
Evaluation of army corps artillery ammunition supply systems via simulation
(IEEE, 2002)
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the evaluation of different alternatives for the implementation of Turkish army corps artillery ammunition supply system. The objective is to see whether the alternative systems ...
Scheduling with tool changes to minimize total completion time: a study of heuristics and their performance
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2003)
The machine scheduling literature does not consider the issue of tool change. The
parallel literature on tool management addresses this issue but assumes that the change is due
only to part mix. In practice, however, a ...
Simulation analysis of army casualty evacuations
(Sage Publications, 2002)
Since war games and field exercises are very expensive, mathematical models are often developed to analyze military systems. In this study, the authors investigate a brigade casualty evacuation system (BCES) via simulation. ...
Simulation optimization: a comprehensive review on theory and applications
(Taylor & Francis, 2004)
For several decades, simulation has been used as a descriptive tool by the operations research community in the modeling and analysis of a wide variety of complex real systems. With recent developments in simulation ...
Analysis of assembly systems for interdeparture time variability and throughput
(Taylor & Francis, 2002)
This paper studies the effect of the number of component stations (parallelism), work transfer, processing time distributions, buffers and buffer allocation schemes on throughput and interdeparture time variability of ...
A simulation based learning meachanism for scheduling systems with continuous control and update structure
(IEEE, 2005)
A simulation based learning mechanism is proposed in this study. The system learns in the manufacturing environment by constructing a learning tree and selects a dispatching rule from the tree for each scheduling period. ...
Reactive scheduling in a dynamic and stochastic FMS environment
(Taylor & Francis, 2003)
In this paper, we study the reactive scheduling problems in a dynamic and stochastic manufacturing environment. Specifically, we develop a simulationbased scheduling system for flexible manufacturing systems. We also propose ...
Simulation metamodelling with neural networks: an experimental investigation
(2002)
Artificial neural networks are often proposed as an alternative approach for formalizing various quantitative and qualitative aspects of complex systems. This paper examines the robustness of using neural networks as a ...
