The normal and reliable operation of the battery system in the electric vehicle plays a critical role to ensure safe and comfortable driving for users. In practice, a very common problem of battery system is charge imbalance. To solve this problem, battery equalization has been introduced as a part of the battery management system. In order to design a battery equalization system and improve its performance,...
UW Health (the integrated health system at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI) has been engaged in a multi-year initiative to transform the primary care delivery system. In support of the redesign, discrete event simulation models are developed to analyze the patient flows of pediatric care processes with complex interactions among patients, care providers, and other resources. Using the simulation...
In orthopedic surgery department, multiple surgeries are carried out in the same operating room every day. Each surgery may have a random duration, differs from the scheduled time, which results in room idle time and patient waiting time. One of the major factors affecting the idle and waiting times is the schedule of surgeries in the operating room. To better sequence of surgeries to reduce idle...
Bass model is one of the most representative work in the area of product diffusion. It has some limitations due to its strict assumptions. This paper has extended the application of Bass model to fit two competitive products, and has got an analytical expression for the profits of competitive products. In this model the learning effect of variable cost is taken into account, and its influence to product...
Data-driven bottleneck detection has received an increasing interest during the recent years. This approach locates the throughput bottleneck of manufacturing systems based on indicators derived from measured machine performance metrics. However, the variability in manufacturing systems may affect the quality of bottleneck indicators, leading to possible inaccurate detection results. This paper presents...
