Abstract

"Dealing with uncertainty is where simulation-optimization (SO) approaches are most applicable. This study proposes a new SO model, called Iterative Optimization-based Simulation (IOS). In this model, an optimization module is embedded inside a simulation manager to improve system’s performance. The results show, the IOS approach generally has better performance compared to the Non-IOS approaches in terms of average tardiness cost and average time in the system."
