Government Defense Contractor Decreases Equipment and Maintenance Costs with Simulation
A detailed Arena simulation model was developed to model various layouts and equipment option scenarios for a major defense contractor to improve and simplify palletized cargo-loading operations. Read more >> |
Allocation of Resources for Hospital Evacuations via Simulation
Esengul Tayfur and Kevin Taaffe
Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) issued an order recently requiring that all hospitals have an evacuation plan with the following components: sheltering plan, transportation plan and staffing plan. Also, these hospitals carry out tests to become familiar with the sequence of events that need to occur for an effective evacuation. Read more >> |
Cyber Attack Modeling and Simulation for Network Security Analysis
Michael E. Kuhl, Moises Sudit, Jason Kistner, and Kevin Costantini
Cyber security methods are continually being developed. To test these methods many organizations utilize both virtual and physical networks which can be costly and time consuming. As an alternative, in this paper, we present a simulation modeling approach to represent computer networks and intrusion detection systems (IDS) to efficiently simulate cyber attack scenarios.

A Discrete Event Simulation Model for Examining Future Sustainability of Canadian Forces Operations
Patricia Moorhead, Andrew Wind and Mira Halbrohr
This paper presents a proof-of-concept discrete-event simulation model for examining the ability of the Canadian Forces (CF) to sustain operations, from a human resources perspective. Read more >> |
On the Availability of the CH149 Cormorant Fleet
Raman Pall
The CH149 Cormorant is the Canadian Forces (CF) designation for the AgustaWestland EH101, the Canadian Air Force’s only dedicated search and rescue (SAR) helicopter. Since its procurement, the availability for operations of the CH149 fleet has been less than what was initially predicted. This study was undertaken to determine if the low serviceability of the fleet was due to its maintenance programme. A discrete-event simulation model was created to determine the number of aircraft available at any given time. Read more >> |
Using Discrete Event Simulation to Examine Marine Training at the Marine Corps Communication-Electronics School
Jon Davenport, Charles Neu, William Smith and Susan Heath
This paper presents a discrete-event simulation model used to explore various possibilities for improving the training continuum at the Marine Corps Communication-Electronics School. The goal of the analysis is to reduce the average waiting time experienced by Marines as they wait for their formal training to commence. Read more >> |
Allocating Field Service Teams with Simulation in Energy/Utilities Environment
Luiz Augusto G. Franzese, Marcelo Moretti Fioroni, Luis Eduardo Pinheiro and João Batista Eustáchio Soares
More and more companies in general look for ways to guarantee your collaborators' safety, optimize your operational efficiency, improve the quality of employee's life, improve the quality of the service rendered… Read more >> |
