A Simulation-based Routing Selection Decision Support System
نویسندگان
چکیده
The method chosen for determining the “best” routing selection has a great effect both upon theoretical rules and the real problems met in our business life. When it comes to theoretical research, a good routing selection algorithm can not only trim costs and raise the efficiency of the system but also reduce the waste of system resources. Making a correct routing selection decision could help us deal properly with the routing problems such as that for the delivery service or machine arrangement in the factory. On the other hand, simulation methods are often used to solve complex system problems that cannot be solved by applying simple rules of mathematics. The objective of this study is to build a Simulation Based Decision Support System (SBDSS) to improve the quality of routing selection decisions. In order to raise the quality and performance of decision-making, simulation is used to assist the traditional decision support system and support the traditional rule base to create a more flexible decision support tool. Using simulation method as the kernel of our decision support system has benefit of replacing the fixed decision rules and getting more meaningful decision suggestion. This study also uses a real case of a travel agency as the experimental model to verify our system’s performance. Simulation results show that the SBDSS architecture is effective and valuable for solving the routing selection problem.
