TLDR
In this article, the authors focus on production decisions, where discrete-event simulation models perform that evaluation, and propose integrating these discrete event models with system dynamic models and show the potential benefits of such an integration using an example of semiconductor enterprise.Abstract:
Manufacturing enterprise decisions can be classified into four groups: business decisions, design decisions, engineering decisions, and production decisions. Numerous physical and software simulation techniques have been used to evaluate specific decisions by predicting their impact on the system as measured by one or more performance measures. We focus on production decisions, where discrete-event simulation models perform that evaluation. We argue that such an evaluation is limited in time and scope, and does not capture the potential impact of these decisions on the whole enterprise. We propose integrating these discrete-event models with system dynamic models and we show the potential benefits of such an integration using an example of semiconductor enterprise.read more

Ashkan Negahban,Jeffrey S. Smith +1 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of discrete event simulation publications published between 2002 and 2013 with a particular focus on applications in manufacturing is provided in this paper, where the literature is classified into three general classes of manufacturing system design, manufacturing system operation, and simulation language/package development.
Toward modeling and simulation of critical national infrastructure interdependencies.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose an innovative modeling and analysis framework to study the entire system of physical and economic infrastructures and demonstrate its potential use to analyze, and propose a response for, a hypothetical disruption.

Design classes for hybrid simulations involving agent-based and system dynamics models
Chris Swinerd,Ken R. McNaught +1 more
TL;DR: This work proposes three basic types of hybrid agent-based system dynamics simulations, referred to here as interfaced, integrated and sequential hybrid designs, and speculate that the classification presented may also be useful for other classes of hybrid simulations.

TL;DR: Requirements for the effective use of system dynamics are discussed and a successful application to a difficult business issue is illustrated.
Book
The Fifth Discipline
TL;DR: Learning organizations are possible because at heart we all love to learn as discussed by the authors, they are intrinsically inquisitive, masterful learners, and they are able to re-create ourselves and are capable of doing something we were never able to do earlier.

Period Three Implies Chaos
TL;DR: In this article, a generalized logistic equation was used to model the distribution of points of impact on a spinning bit for oil well drilling, as mentioned if this distribution is helpful in predicting uneven wear of the bit.
