In an attempt to investigate blood unit ordering policies, researchers have created a discrete-
event model of the UK National Blood Service (NBS) supply chain in the Southampton area …

A form of design guidance is offered through a process that applies Axiomatic Design
Theory to Component-Orientation. Axiomatic Design has been proposed by Do and Suh for …

Traditionally, discrete event simulation is associated with system analysis due to its role as
an operations research method. In this article, we consider a case study on the alternative …

Distributed simulation is used very little in industry, especially when compared with the
interest in distributed simulation from research and from the military domain. In order to …

In Operations Research and Management Science (OR/MS), Discrete Event Simulation
(DES) models are typically created using commercial off-the-shelf simulation packages …

Simulating complex and distributed manufacturing systems is not easy using traditional
simulation techniques. Manufacturing environment contains several systems that must …

Ce travail de thèse porte sur l'étude des systèmes complexes par une démarche de
modélisation et simulation (M&S). La plupart des questionnements sur ces systèmes …

Decision making in modern supply chains can be extremely daunting due to their complex
nature. Discrete-event simulation is a technique that can support decision making by …

Commercial-Off-The-Shelf Simulation Packages (CSPs) are widely used in industry to
simulate discrete-event models. Interoperability of CSPs requires the use of distributed …

Manufacturing systems can be thought as production networks nodes whose relations have
a strong impact on design and analysis of each system. Commercial simulators are already …
