Optimizing Production Manufacturing Using Reinforcement Learning
TL;DR: An artificial intelligence approach to optimization based on a simulation-based dynamic programming method called reinforcement learning called SMART is presented, and its performance on optimizing manufacturing systems with that of standard heuristics used in industry is compared.
Journal ArticleDOI
Models, validation, and applied geochemistry: Issues in science, communication, and philosophy
TL;DR: Arguments against using the phrase model validation are summarized and efforts to validate models for high-level radioactive waste management and for permitting and monitoring open-pit mines are examined.

AT&T's Call Processing Simulator (CAPS) Operational Design for Inbound Call Centers
TL;DR: The call processing simulator (CAPS) as discussed by the authors is a PC-based system employing a discrete event simulation model with animation and queuing models of both the telecommunications network and AT&T's business customer's call center environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Designing an adaptive production control system using reinforcement learning
TL;DR: This paper addresses the design of RL to create an adaptive production control system by the real-world example of order dispatching in a complex job shop, and examines the performance of the state, action, and reward function RL design.

Revenue management for a make-to-order company with limited inventory capacity
Florian Defregger,Heinrich Kuhn +1 more
TL;DR: In numerical tests, the potential benefit of using revenue management instead of a FCFS policy is shown and the performance of the heuristic procedure proposed is assessed.
