This article reviews the design and analysis of simulation experiments. It focusses on
analysis via two types of metamodel (surrogate. emulator); namely, low-order polynomial …

This paper provides an overview of the evolution and state-of-the-art of the Operations
Research and Management Science (OR/MS) subject area from 1956 to 2019. Using text …

Elevated business uncertainties and competition over recent years have caused changes to
the data-driven supply chain management of sourcing and inventories across industries …

This contribution summarizes the design and analysis of experiments with computerized
simulation models. It focuses on two metamodel (surrogate, emulator) types, namely first …

This paper considers an agri-food supply chain with a single fresh food supplier, who owns
a central warehouse that serves several retail centers. Retail centers carry a certain amount …

This paper investigates the resilience of inventory models using interconnected logistics
services in the Physical Internet (PI). With traditional supply chain network design …

In this article we investigate the unconstrained optimization (minimization) of the
performance of a system that is modeled through a discrete-event simulation. In recent …

Traditional supply chain networks are often designed in the interests of a company. Once the
network has been defined, the storage and distribution of goods are usually fixed and …

Inventory control has been a major point of discussion in industrial engineering and
operations research for over 100 years. Various advanced numerical methods can be used …

In the last century, there was a general perception that scheduling theory was highly
irrelevant to scheduling practice. Many recent studies, however, have suggested that the …
