Designing simulation experiments
TL;DR: 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.

Designing simulation experiments
TL;DR: This tutorial provides some techniques for planning a set of simulation model runs, in order to gain insight on system behavior and emphasis on graphical methods for planning the experiment and displaying the results.

A stochastic model for joint inventory and outbound shipment decisions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider a vendor realizing a sequence of random order arrivals in random sizes, and investigate the impact of shipment consolidation on the expected long-run average cost by simultaneously computing the optimal order quantity for inventory replenishment at the vendor and the optimal dispatch quantity for outbound shipments.
Journal ArticleDOI
When Are Deliveries Profitable
TL;DR: The paper presents an iterative solution approach: after calculating an approximate transport capacity based on forecasted expected delivery requests and a cost-minimizing routing, actual delivery requests are accepted or rejected aiming to maximize the overall value of orders given the computed transport capacity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validating complex construction simulation models using 3D visualization
TL;DR: This paper presents a case study of a simulation model of an earthmoving operation with fairly complex control logic that was verified and validated by visualizing the operation in 3D.
