We estimate the variance parameter of a stationary simulation-generated process using “folded” versions of standardized time series area estimators. We formulate improved vari...

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...

We consider a new simulation-based optimization method called the Nested Partitions (NP) method. This method generates a Markov chain and solving the optimization problem is equiv...
Mercedes-Benz United States International (MBUSI) built a manufacturing facility for the production of the new M-Class "All Activity Vehicle" (AAV). This plant consists ...
In this paper, we present QUALEX, a system and algorithm for generating first-order qualitative causal graphs for tutorial purposes based on de Kleer and Brown's qualitative ...
