Supply Chair Demonstrator Based on Federated Models and HLA Application

چکیده
Supply chains are complex systems that are difficult to be understood from the viewpoint of the single enterprise. This often leads to local optimizations that form an optimum for one company or a short section of a supply network. Such local optimizations endanger the competitiveness of the whole supply chain, as today not the single enterprise, but the production network (sometimes named Virtual Enterprise) has to be the competitive entity. Simulation could help to understand the full network and to study and improve the network as a whole. However, the development of such networks is complicated, as it models several distributed entities and might also be forced to introduce the human-in-the-loop or to include IT control systems in the simulation run. The authors propose a supply chain demonstrator, that can run distributed, combine several (local) simulation models into one federation and also include non-simulation federates like human user interfaces or additional IT systems.

SIMULATION WITH FEDERATED MODELS : EXPECTATIONS , REALIZATIONS AND LIMITATIONS Richard
A critique of federated modeling and simulation (M&S) and the HLA approach is given from an external perspective. Recognized difficulties and the progress toward overcoming them are described. The role of HLA in developing consistency and uniformity in M&S within the Department of Defense is laudable. The program and its management by DMSO have succeeded in promoting communications and understa...
متن کاملThe Umbra Simulation Framework as Applied to Building Hla Federates
Sandia’s Umbra modular simulation framework was designed to enable the modeling of robots for manufacturing, military, and security system concept evaluation. Umbra generalizes data-flow-based simulation to enable modeling of heterogeneous interaction phenomena via a multiple worlds abstraction. This and other features make Umbra particularly suitable for developing simulation federates. Umbra’...
متن کاملA Switchgrass-based Bioethanol Supply Chain Network Design Model under Auto-Regressive Moving Average Demand
Switchgrass is known as one of the best second-generation lignocellulosic biomasses for bioethanol production. Designing efficient switchgrass-based bioethanol supply chain (SBSC) is an essential requirement for commercializing the bioethanol production from switchgrass. This paper presents a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model to design SBSC in which bioethanol demand is under auto-r...

Optimization and reduction of costs in management of distribution and transportation of commodity are one of the main goals of many organizations. Using suitable models in supply chain in order to increase efficiency and appropriate location for support centers in logistical networks is highly important for planners and managers. Graph modeling can be used to analyze these problems and many oth...
متن کاملExperimental Comparison of d-Rectangle Intersection Algorithms Applied to HLA Data Distribution
The High Level Architecture (HLA) is a standard for constructing distributed simulations. The Data Distribution Management services of HLA reduce the amount of data delivered to an HLA federate by allowing communications connections to be based on federates’ expressed data production and requirements. At the core of determining which connections to make is a geometric problem: finding the dynam...
