چکیده
The John Deere Augusta Works uses discrete event simulation in predicting assembly line output as a function of varying model and option mix quantities in daily production schedules. The most unique aspect of this application is not necessarily how it is used but who uses the model. Prior to each production day, a Union representative executes the model, and the simulation results establish the target production goal for the day. Day-to-day wages are based on the actual production attained relative to the simulated target. This paper describes the simulation tool structure designed for Augusta, and discusses the circumstances surrounding this unique simulation application. Included in the discussion are the benefits derived from the application; the critical success factors enabling its use; lessons learned in converting a simulation analysis into an operating tool; and future improvements envisioned.

This paper presents a component-based framework for designing simulation models and discusses its implementation in a package called Simkit. In this framework, Components are defined to be monolith software entities that interact with other components in one of only three ways. Although seemingly restrictive, this approach supports more extensibility and customization of simulation models than ...

This tutorial introduces some of the ideas, issues, challenges, solutions, and opportunities in deciding how to experiment with a simulation model to learn about its behavior. Careful planning, or designing, of simulation experiments is generally a great help, saving time and effort by providing efficient ways to estimate the effects of changes in the models inputs on its outputs. Traditional ...

The purpose of this paper is to develop and demonstrate Simulation of Satellite Communications (SIMSATCOM), a high resolution, stochastic simulation of satellite communications for evaluating the effectiveness of message transmission and receipt by specified senders and receivers. SIMSATCOM is designed to operate as a standalone simulation, but may be adopted as a high resolution module for a l...
