This paper investigates stock keeping unit (SKU) proliferation and its impact on a health care supply chain. There are two types of proliferation: acceptance and adoption. The acceptance case occurs when a hospital requests a SKU and the SKU is not carried by the system. The adoption case occurs when the SKU is not carried by the requesting hospital, but is carried by some other hospital within the...
In this paper, we discuss the design and use of an object- oriented framework for simulating full truckload (FTL) networks. We present a context for how the framework can be used through its application to an example trucking network. In addition, we describe the design by examining the major conceptual artifacts within the object- oriented model. The framework is built on a Java Simulation Library...
In this paper, we discuss the design and use of a prototype object-oriented framework for simulating automatic data collection systems within their operational contexts. We motivate the purpose of the framework and how the framework can be used through the use of a simple scenario on an airbase. In addition, we overview the design by examining the major conceptual artifacts within the object-oriented...
In this paper, we examine the use of exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) control charts for the detection of initialization bias in steady state simulation experiments. EWMA charts have the interesting property of being more sensitive to shifts in the data as compared to other control charting techniques. We exploit this sensitivity by developing a criteria for searching for the deletion...
