Application of discrete-rate based mesoscopic simulation models for production and logistics planning
Abstract
The paper describes and analyzes the application of mesoscopic discrete-rate based simulation models for production and logistics planning tasks in comparison with microscopic discrete-event simulation models. Mesoscopic models represent logistics flow processes on an aggregated level through piecewise constant flow rates by applying the discrete-rate simulation paradigm instead of modeling individual flow objects. This leads to a fast model creation and computation.
