This book systematically introduces the development of simulation models as well as the implementation and evaluation of simulation experiments with Tecnomatix Plant Simulation. It deals with all users of Plant Simulation, who have more complex tasks to handle. It also looks for an easy entry into the program. Particular attention has been paid to introduce the simulation flow language SimTalk and its use in various areas of the simulation. The author demonstrates with over 200 examples how to combine the blocks for simulation models and how to deal with SimTalk for complex control and analysis tasks. The contents of this book ranges from a description of the basic functions of the material flow blocks to demanding topics such as the realization of a database-supported warehouse control by using the SQLite interface or the exchange of data by using XML, ActiveX, COM or DDE.

Over the last decades Discrete Event Simulation has conquered many different application areas. This trend is, on the one hand, driven by an ever wider use of this technology in different fields of science and on the other hand by an incredibly creative use of available software programs through dedicated experts. This book contains articles from scientists and experts from 10 countries. They illuminate the width of application of this technology and the quality of problems solved using Discrete Event Simulation. Practical applications of simulation dominate in the present book. The book is aimed to researchers and students who deal in their work with Discrete Event Simulation and which want to inform them about current applications. By focusing on discrete event simulation, this book can also serve as an inspiration source for practitioners for solving specific problems during their work. Decision makers who deal with the question of the introduction of discrete event simulation for planning support and optimization this book provides a contribution to the orientation, what specific problems could be solved with the help of Discrete Event Simulation within the organization.
Based on the competition of international production networks, the pressure to - crease the efficiency of production systems has increased significantly. In ad- tion, the number of technical components in many products and as a consequence also the requirements for corresponding assembly processes and logistics pr- esses increases. International logistics networks require corresponding logistics concepts. These requirements can be managed only by using appropriate Digital Factory tools in the context of a product lifecycle management environment, which allows reusing data, supports an effective cooperation between different departments, and provides up-to-date and relevant data to every user who needs it. Simulating the complete material flow including all relevant production, st- age, and transport activities is recognized as a key component of the Digital F- tory in the industry and as of today widely used and accepted. Cutting inventory and throughput time by 20–60% and enhancing the productivity of existing p- duction facilities by 15–20% can be achieved in real-life projects.
Discrete event simulation and agent-based modeling are increasingly recognized as critical for diagnosing and solving process issues in complex systems. Introduction to Discrete Event Simulation and Agent-based Modeling covers the techniques needed for success in all phases of simulation projects. These include: • Definition – The reader will learn how to plan a project and communicate using a charter. • Input analysis – The reader will discover how to determine defensible sample sizes for all needed data collections. They will also learn how to fit distributions to that data. • Simulation – The reader will understand how simulation controllers work, the Monte Carlo (MC) theory b...
This volume provides the reader with an overview of the diverse functions of the RUNX family of genes. As highlighted in the introduction and several of the 29 chapters, humans and other mammals have three RUNX genes that are known to play specific roles in blood, bone and neuronal development. However, their evolutionary history has recently been traced back to unicellular organisms and their involvement in many well-known signaling pathways (Wnt, TGFb, Notch, Hippo) is indicative of a more general function in cell biology. Their documented roles in cell fate decisions include control of proliferation, differentiation, survival, senescence and autophagy. The pleiotropic effects of RUNX in d...
This book covers recent advances in all aspects of bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSCs) for stroke treatment, while also providing comprehensive information on human clinical trials and animal models of stroke. In addition, it reviews the optimal conditions of transplantation for stroke therapy and potential mechanisms underlying transplanted cell-mediated functional recovery after stroke. As the first book to focus on BMSC therapy for stroke, it also discusses in depth the unique challenges of BMSCs-based therapy in this context.
Das Aufgabenbuch ergänzt die in Lehrbüchern erläuterten Verfahren der Losbildung und Fertigungssteuerung durch sehr detaillierte und präzise Lösungen. Losbildung und Fertigungssteuerung sind zentrale Kernelemente der operativen Produktionsplanung und -steuerung, insbesondere in kommerziell verfügbaren IT-Systemen. Daher sind diese Verfahren integrale Bestandteile von Veranstaltungen zur Produktion und Logistik, Produktionsplanung und -steuerungsysteme, Supply Chain Management usw. in Bachelor- und Masterstudiengängen an Hochschulen und Universitäten. Zu Beginn einer Lösung wird die verwendete Methodik soweit dargestellt, dass diese mit den in entsprechenden Vorlesungen gelehrten Inhalten ohne weitere Literatur verständlich ist. Einige Themen, wie die Betrachtung von knappen Kapazitäten und von schwankenden Durchlaufzeiten, gehen über den Inhalt von Standardlehrbüchern hinaus und dürften auch für Doktoranden interessant sein.
El libro Avances de Investigación de las Organizaciones con un enfoque interdisciplinario es un importante esfuerzo de investigadoras e investigadores y estudiantes que quieren poner en valor su análisis y descubrimientos en torno a sus temas de investigación. Cada uno de los capítulos posee un análisis con enfoques orientados hacia la aproximación de la interdisciplinariedad. Además, los trabajos muestran una gran variedad de problemáticas que se encuentran en diversos sectores organizacionales y, de forma creativa, intentan ofrecer algunas alternativas relacionadas con su abordaje y su posible atención a estas dificultades que se presentan en la sociedad mexicana y, de esta manera...
Simulation modelling involves the development of models that imitate real-world operations, and statistical analysis of their performance with a view to improving efficiency and effectiveness. This non-technical textbook is focused towards the needs of business, engineering and computer science students, and concentrates on discrete event simulations as it is used in operations management. Stewart Robinson of Warwick Business School offers guidance through the key stages in a simulation project in terms of both the technical requirements and the project management issues surrounding it. Readers will emerge able to develop appropriate valid conceptual models, perform simulation experiments, analyse the results and draw insightful conclusions.
