This paper discusses the use of simulation in a new context. Most often QUEST is viewed as a stand-alone simulation tool to analyze and understand shop floor behavior. It has rare...
Creating comprehensive simulation models can be expensive and time consuming. This paper discusses our efforts to develop a general methodology that will allow users to quickly an...
Whether designing a new system or modifying an existing one, engineers want to take the guesswork out of finding the best possible solution. While there are many analysis methods ...
A continuing problem in business today is the design of human-computer systems that respect how work actually gets done. The overarching context of work consists of activities, wh...

We design an algorithm, called the fluid synchronization algorithm (FSA), for the job shop scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing the makespan. We round an optimal sol...
