This paper provides a comprehensive review of discrete event simulation publications
published between 2002 and 2013 with a particular focus on applications in manufacturing …

Purpose Vehicle allocation problems (VAPs), which are frequently confronted in many
transportation activities, primarily including but not limited to full truckload freight …

Diversification of products has increased the involvement of reentrant manufacturing
processes, in which a job returns multiple times to a machine at the preceding workflow …

In automated material handling systems (AMHS), such as those used to transport wafers in
semiconductor manufacturing facilities, vehicular congestion leads to transport delay and …

Motivated by realistic needs to enhance the productivity for 200-mm wafer fabs, this paper
aims to propose a novel approach for manual material handling system (MMHS) to mimic …

Many stochastic factors, such as vehicle congestion, deadlock or conflict, or stochastic
processing time have significant effects on performance in scheduling problem in flexible …

The determination of AGV vehicle requirements in a manufacturing system has a great
impact on the system performance. This paper first defines the AGV vehicle requirement …

Discrete and stochastic resource allocation problems are difficult to solve because of the
combinatorial explosion of feasible search space. Resource management is important area …

In this study, we propose an evolutionary simulation-optimization algorithm for the order
allocation problem with flexible splitting rule in semiconductor assembly (SA). There are …
