Modeling System Architecture and Resource Constraints Using Discrete-Event Simulation

Optimizing system resource utilization is a key design objective for system engineers in communications, electronics, and other industries. System resources such as processors, memory, or bandwidth on a communication bus are often shared by various components in the system. To understand the utilization of a shared resource, system engineers must do two things: identify constraints on the resou...

Modeling and Improving Emergency Department Systems using Discrete Event Simulation

This paper describes a discrete event simulation study of an emergency department at Dr. Georges-L. Dumont Hospital in Moncton (Canada). The objective of the study was to reduce patient waiting times and to improve overall service delivery and system throughput. As patient waiting times are linked to resource availability, a number of alternatives were designed based on adding resource scenario...

Modeling Cross-Docking Operations using Discrete Event Simulation

Cross-docking is a distribution system where products transported from warehouses to destinations are unloaded temporarily at intermediate facilities, and loaded onto outbound trucks to be shipped to their final destination. The complexity of cross-docking operations has been considered a problem of great interest to researchers and practitioners in the areas of Scheduling, Optimization, Supply...

Modeling Continuous Flow with Discrete - Event Simulation

This paper describes the application of discrete event simulation to study continuous material flow. Logistics is an integrated part of most manufacturing companies. The purpose of this study is to determine the required logistics operations to allow continuous operations of a chemical manufacturing plant. The application has been used to provide critical decision support.
