Decision making and forecasting with respect to risk: A simulation study for a setup-problem
In this paper, the impact of timing a setup operation on the work-in-process and cycle time is investigated. Using a small example of an reentrant production system, it is shown t...

The Midlifekicker Microarchitecture Evaluation Metric
We introduce the midlifekicker metric for evaluating microarchitectures mostly during the design process. We assume a microarchitecture designed at a time T-1 and estimate if a ne...
