Comparing discrete-event simulation and system dynamics: users' perceptions
This paper is the first of its type in that it provides an empirical study comparing the two simulation approaches of Discrete-Event Simulation (DES) and System Dynamics (SD). Prior comparison work is limited and mostly based on the authors‟ personal opinions. In the present work the comparison is based on managers‟ (executive MBA students) perceptions of two simulation models of the same probl...
متن کاملExplaining Puzzling Dynamics: Comparing the Use of System Dynamics and Discrete- Event Simulation
Both system dynamics (SD) and discrete-event simulation (DES) are used to help understand and explain puzzling real world dynamics. But what are the similarities and differences between these two approaches and which should be used in a specific circumstance? These are questions few have ventured to answer. In this research the two approaches are compared by developing an SD and DES model of th...
متن کاملDiscrete Event Simulation and Production System
The research focuses on increasing production volume and decreasing costs at a hardness test block manufacturer. A discrete event simulation model is created to investigate potential system wide improvements. Using the results from the simulation a production work-cell is proposed that will allow a single worker to operate 7 machines at a rate that exceeds existing production rates. This result...
متن کاملDiscrete Event Simulation, System Dynamics and Agent Based Simulation: Discussion and Comparison
Simulation modelling is an important instrument in Operational Research for a number of reasons. It provides a valuable tool for approximating real life behaviour and hence can be used for testing scenarios. Also the art of constructing the model itself may lead the modeller to greater understanding of the real system. When it comes to simulation there are three main methods in use, this paper ...

representations. This process highlights the parts or sequences of tasks that require excessive movement between locations and assists in taking appropriate actions to optimize the task. However, there are disadvantages that cannot be ignored. The pictorial representation of the task sequences can become complex, as it depends on task size, task dependencies, and type of layout. It is also diff...
