Optimization of simulated systems: OptQuest and alternatives
This article illustrates the general problem known as ‘simulation optimization’ through an (s,S) inventory management system. In this system, the goal function to be minimized is the expected value of specific inventory costs. Moreover, specific constraints must be satisfied for some random simulation responses, namely the service or fill rate, and for some deterministic simulation inputs, name...
متن کاملOptimization of Complex Systems with OptQuest
⎯ Optimization of complex systems has been for many years limited to problems that could be formulated as mathematical programming models of linear, nonlinear and integer types. Problemspecific heuristics that do not require a mathematical formulation of the problem have been also used for optimizing complex systems, however, they generally must be developed in a case-by-case basis. Recent rese...
متن کاملMetaheuristic Optimization with Evolver, Genocop and OptQuest
Metaheuristic optimization has experienced an evolution toward the development of general purpose optimizers. Although the most effective metaheuristics for the solution of hard (in the computational sense) optimization problems are procedures customized to each particular situation, there is an increased interest in developing systems that can effectively operate as general-purpose solvers. ...
متن کاملGlobal optimization of arborescent multilevel inventory systems
We consider the numerical resolution of hierarchical inventory problems under global optimization. First we describe the model as well as the dynamical stochastic system and the impulse controls involved. Next we characterize the optimal cost function and we formulate the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations. We present a numerical scheme and a fast algorithm of resolution, with a result on the sp...
متن کاملOptimization of two-stage production/inventory systems under order base stock policy with advance demand information
It is important to share demand information among the members in supply chains. In recent years, production and inventory systems with advance demand information (ADI) have been discussed, where advance demand information means the information of demand which the decision maker obtains before the corresponding actual demand arrives. Appropriate production and inventory control using demand info...
