We provide a review of the state of the art on the design and implementation of random number generators (RNGs) for simulation, on both sequential and parallel computing environments. We focus on the need for multiple independent streams and substreams of random numbers, explain how they can be constructed and managed, review software libraries that offer them, and illustrate their usefulness via...
In order to gain a competitive position within industry, in semiconductor fabs enormous efforts have been spent in developing different kinds of operational control strategies relating to work-in-process (WIP) and due date. This paper presents a framework to deal with shop floor control problems regarding WIP balance and due date control. The framework comprises four key components that are (1) Global...
In grocery retail supply chains, a single retailer with a large market share is delivered by many suppliers. For replenishment decisions the retailer (or the supplier in case of Vendor Managed Inventory) has to make a tradeoff between keeping more inventory or using a higher replenishment frequency. In models studying this tradeoff inventory and transportation capacities are often fixed and costs...
At the outset, there is no question that building energy use is largely influenced by the presence and behavior of occupants. Among other, the key to realize energy use reduction while still maintaining occupant comfort is to seamlessly integrate occupant behavior in energy simulation tools with capabilities that would optimally manage building energy systems. This paper provides an in-depth survey...
