generate realistic cost estimates, we developed a discrete event simulation model that included demand variability, planning … and scheduling policies, and operational details. We evaluated three different policies: make-to-stock (MTS), postponement …, and combined MTS/postponement. We also evaluated different storage media and optimized the number of storage units for …

A project delivery process simulation is presented based upon empirical studies in the design-build environment of …, as well as design criteria changes along the delivery of a R&D fab utility system. Simulation shows that to involve the … - environments in which design criteria are likely to change irrespectively of the project progress status - simulation reveals that …
