Journal ArticleDOI
Using Simulation Early in the Design of a Fuel Injector Production Line
TL;DR: This paper describes how simulation was employed in the concept development phase to assess whether production targets required for financial viability were feasible and to identify the critical features of the line on which to focus design-improvement efforts.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Cycle-time quantile estimation in manufacturing systems employing dispatching rules
TL;DR: This paper demonstrates the degradation and motivates the need for a modification to the Cornish-Fisher expansion for estimating quantiles under non-FIFO dispatching rules and presents a solution approach combining a data transformation, the maximum (minimum)-transformation, with the Cornishing-F Fisher expansion.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Variance reduction: Basic transformations
TL;DR: A stochastic computer simulation model is a description of a system of interrelated random variables that can be used to estimate parameters of interest.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Estimation of percentiles of cycle time in manufacturing simulation
TL;DR: A highly flexible distribution, the generalized gamma, is used to represent the underlying distribution of cycle time, and its parameters are determined by matching moments and obtaining percentiles by inverting the distribution.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A hybrid simulation-queueing module for modeling UNIX I/O in performance analysis
TL;DR: This paper presents a hybrid simulation-queueing module that can be inserted into any simulation to accurately model I/O resource consumption and queueing delays without explicitly modeling each individual I-O process.
