  • An interactive object-oriented system for discrete simulation modeling and analysis

    Creator:
    McGregor, Donald R.
    Abstract:
    One of the commonly used simulation approaches is process orientation. This is based on the use of nodes (or blocks) that perform functions in series. In spite of the compactness and ease of learning that characterize process-based simulation, many languages are somewhat complex, primarily the result of the large number...

  • Managing urban development : a simulation approach for coping with change at a municipal parking structure

    Creator:
    White, Stephen James
    Abstract:
    Public construction projects are frequently presented as occurring in complex social, political and economic settings described as being uncertain. In public administration, this uncertainty is cited as a cause for shifting from the so called "rational-comprehensive" model of policy and decision making toward an "incremental" or "mixed-scanning" approach. None of...

  • An object-oriented simulation system for softwood sawmills

    Creator:
    Zhang, Guangchao
    Abstract:
    S3 (Softwood Sawmill Simulator) is a sawmill simulation system for modeling the operations of Pacific Northwest softwood lumber mills. S3 consists of three main parts. The first part is the framework for construction of the sawmill layout. The second part focuses on individual machine centers, their process and down times,...

  • Heuristic algorithm for multistage scheduling in food processing industry

    Creator:
    Juwono, Cynthia P.
    Abstract:
    A multistage production system consists of a number of production stages that are interrelated, that is the output from one stage forms input to the next stage. There are constraints associated with each stage as well as constraints imposed by the overall system. Besides, there are multiple objectives that need...

  • Steady-state analysis in simulation : an application of Schriber's truncation rule to complex queueing systems

    Creator:
    Saleh, Budiman
    Abstract:
    The objective of many steady-state simulations is to study the behavior of a nonterminating system with a peak load of infinite duration. Due to the complexity of the system, the initial conditions of the system are often atypical that often requires the simulators to start the system with the empty...

  • Design and implementation of a production scheduling system for continuous manufacturing environment

    Creator:
    Rai, Nivruti
    Abstract:
    Scheduling a continuous manufacturing flow shop environment with several machines, stochastic arrival of demands, different product requirements and limited resources is a complex task. This research develops a methodology for scheduling products in glass fiber industry. The system consists of two components. An optimizing linear program determines the optimal solution...

  • Design and implementation of a heuristic-based decision support system for nurse scheduling

    Creator:
    Sitompul, Darwin
    Abstract:
    A decision support system (DSS) for nurse scheduling in hospitals is developed and implemented on microcomputer. The system includes algorithms and databases for developing weekly work and shift patterns and combining these into working schedules for nurses for a specified time horizon, and interface modules for the user to interact...

  • An expert system for softwood lumber grading

    Creator:
    Zeng, Yimin
    Abstract:
    The focus of this research is to develop a prototype expert system for softwood lumber grading. The grading rules used in the knowledge base of the system are based on Western Lumber Grading Rules 88 published by the Western Wood Products Association. The system includes 27 grades in Dimension, Select/Finish,...

  • A decision support system for integrating fishing and fish processing

    Creator:
    Bjarnason, Einar Thor
    Abstract:
    Production planning in fish processing is heavily dependent on the raw material supply. Because of the uncertainties associated with the quantity of catch and its composition, planning for production is a difficult task. Until recently the fish processing plants in Iceland also had to accept the entire loads of fishing...
