General purpose simulation with stroboscope
TL;DR: The paper presents an overview of Stroboscope and illustrates how it can be used to model a complex example taken from classic simulation literature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulation optimization: a review of algorithms and applications
TL;DR: This document emphasizes the difficulties in simulation optimization as compared to algebraic model-based mathematical programming, makes reference to state-of-the-art algorithms in the field, examines and contrasts the different approaches used, reviews some of the diverse applications that have been tackled by these methods, and speculates on future directions in the fields.

Stochastic optimization for strategic mine planning: A decade of developments
TL;DR: In this article, a new mine planning paradigm is considered, integrating two elements: stochastic simulation and stochastically optimization, which provide an extended mathematical framework that allows modeling and direct integration of orebody uncertainty to mine design, production planning, and valuation of mining projects and operations.

Dynamic rules for due-date assignment
Michelle M. Vig,Kevin J. Dooley +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present two new dynamic due-date assignment rules which utilize shop congestion information to estimate job flowtime based on a sampling of recently completed jobs, and evaluate the robustness of the rules, using an experimental design with three different queue sequencing heuristics and two different shop balance levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal two-stage ordering policy with Bayesian information updating
TL;DR: The optimal ordering policy exhibits nice structural properties and can easily be implemented by a computer program and the service level and profit uncertainty level under the optimal policy are discussed.
