Reduction of production disturbances of a shoemaking industry through a discrete event simulation approach

This study presents a reduction of production disturbances of a shoemaking industry through discrete event simulation approach. The study is conducted at Peacock Shoe factory found in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.  This factory faces line balancing problem that becomes production disturbance for its assembly lines. Detail time study is carried out for the selected shoe model using stopwatch. Assembly ...

Performance Measurement and Improvement of Healthcare Service Using Discrete Event Simulation in Bahir Dar Clinic

This paper deals with the service performance analysis and improvement using discrete event simulation has been used. The simulation of the health care has been done by arena master development 14-version software. The performance measurement for this study are patients output, service rate, service efficiency and it is directly related to waiting time of patients in each service station, work ...

A Time-Delayed-Rendezvous Model for Parallel Discrete Event Simulation

This report extends the model for parallel discrete event simulation presented in [7] by introducing the notion of time. The model is based on the notions of processes and gates and on the rendezvous mechanism defined in the the basic Lotos process algebra[2]. Time is introduced via a mechanism similar to the delay behaviour annotation provided by the Topo toolset[5, 3, 4]. An algorithm is pres...

Parallel Discrete Event Simulation

In simulating applications for execution on specific computing systems, the simulation performance figures must be known in a short period of time. One basic approach to the problem of reducing the required simulation time is the exploitation of parallelism. However, in parallelizing the simulation new problems arise. Due to the distributed generation of events causality errors can occur, as a ...
