چکیده
In the industrial engineering community, it’s a well-known adage that focusing on process can help achieve better results. In this second of a series of papers, we’ll focus on the process of simulation testing and outline how improving your testing process can lead to better results for your projects. We’ll consider model building as a software development exercise, and discuss how best practices from the broader software testing community can be applied for process improvement. In particular, we’ll explore various approaches to automated testing and their applicability toward simulation projects, based on recent explorations in our own projects. Part 1 of our series introduced the “milestones” approach to simulation development – based on the popular “agile software” philosophy and our own experiences in real-world simulation consulting practice. This time, we’ll discuss how thinking agile can help you become a more effective tester, and help ensure the quality of your models.

متن کاملThe Use of Simulation to Calculate the Labor Requirements in an Intermodal Rail Terminal
An intermodal rail terminal is a facility where the transfer of cargo occurs between truck and rail. The operations within these terminals involve many resources and operating rules. The ability of a terminal to respond to activity peaks that occur as a result of train arrivals and departures is critical. In order to explore how operations can be improved given the dynamics of resource and dema...

The purpose of this paper is to seek to answer the question as to whether there is a common core set of propositions for macroeconomic analysis on which there would be broad agreement amongst heterodox economists. It postulates eight key features of heterodox macroeconomics, and draws out some implications of those features.
