Multi-fidelity simulation is an effective approach to balancing speed and accuracy in expensive simulation, its performance affected by the quality of multi-fidelity models. Building high-quality models non-trivial, especially for complex systems, because current manual modeling methods require sufficient domain knowledge experience, increasing labor time costs. Motivated issues, this paper foc...

Structural Steel Fabrication is a process in which there is a wide variety of product mix and where most of the products are unique in nature. A lot of work has been done to analyze the use of Discrete Event Simulation in various manufacturing and construction projects for application of lean concepts and other purposes to detect opportunities for optimization. However, there is a lot of differ...

This paper deals with a tutorial study of applied system simulation. We present the applications of system simulation, simulation types, and elaborate on discrete-event simulation, DES. Then we explain the level of details needed in a simulation model. We investigate the signi®cance of simulation experiments and explain in detail the standard methodology used in the development of a simulation ...

In profit-oriented environments, such as warehousing, the minimization of labor costs, and thus the flexibility of labor force is an increasingly important issue. Such an operating policy requires effective capacity planning methods to determine the number of personnel and equipment per activity and scheduling procedures to define the sequence of tasks by considering their strict deadline. In t...
