A comparison of scheduling approaches for a make-to-order electronics manufacturer
In this paper, we compare two scheduling procedures designed to minimize setup costs for a make-to-order electronics manufacturing. While setup costs are important, quick response...

Low bias integrated path estimators
We consider the problem of estimating the time-average variance constant for a stationary process. A previous paper described an approach based on multiple integrations of the sim...

Simulation of modular building construction
Modular construction has the advantage of producing structures quickly and efficiently, while not requiring the resources to build a structure to be co-located with the constructi...

A preliminary study of optimal splitting for rare-event simulation
Efficiency is a big concern when using simulation to estimate rare-event probabilities, since a huge number of simulation replications may be needed in order to obtain a reasonabl...

A dynamic crashing method for project management using simulation-based optimization
A dynamic simulation-based crashing method is introduced in this research to evaluate project networks and determine the optimum crashing configuration that minimizes the average ...
