Simulation models provide a powerful tool for the analysis of manufacturing systems, but their utility beyond the design stage of the system life cycle is hampered by the high cos...
We study the stability of two queueing delay-based congestion control algorithms, the (p, 1)-proportionally fair algorithm and the global optimization algorithm. We linearize the ...
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...
The purpose of this research was to identify the factors in a wafer fabrication facility that significantly affect the cycle times of two main technologies that are currently in p...
This paper describes a novel method for detecting the bottleneck in a discrete event system by examining the average duration of a machine being active for all machines. The machi...
