Multidisciplinaire zorg voor kwetsbare ouderen: Ontwerp en capaciteitsbepaling van een poliklinisch proces in het Reinier de Graaf Gasthuis

The Reinier de Graaf Hospital in Delft has concluded that care for frail elderly with impaired mobility is not always optimal. Due to multimorbidity, traditional monodisciplinary care is not the best possible care. The Reinier de Graaf Hospital set out to improve their care process to serve the frail elderly best. It was found that the target...

Business Process Simulation Under Deep Uncertainty: Cas study at ING Arrears Management

Organizations are in ever changing environments which results in the need for constant adaptation of business processes and structures. Continuous business process improvements can result in cost savings as well as higher efficiency and effectiveness. In some cases business process improvements can be realized through experience and competent...

Overcoming Methodological Obstacles in Business Process Simulation under Deep Uncertainty

Organizations are in ever changing environments which results in the need for constant adaptation of business processes and structures. Discrete Event Simulation (DES) is a commonly used application of Business Process Simulation to support decision makers in complex processes. However, in case deep uncertainty is present in a target business...

Lean Engineering Design of Rail Interlocking Systems with RailML

An interlocking system forms a vital part of a railway signaling system because it ensures the safe movement of trains. For one by controlling movable track elements like switches and for an-other by controlling signals. The engineering design of interlocking systems poses challenges to both engineers at e.g. Siemens and the infrastructure...

A step forward optimizing inventory management: Using a probabilistic discrete-event simulation model to improve service levels and minimize the finished product inventory levels for the Baby care supply chain at P&G

Procter & Gamble is an international producer and distributor of FMCG. The current inventory management practices at P&G, and for the Babycare category in particular, do not result in the target service and inventory levels. This thesis questions how the inventory management practices for the Babycare category should operate in order to achieve...

Assessing The Impact of Capacity of Depots and Vehicle Schedule in Transportation Systems

A well designed public transportation system can provide convenience to the public, increase the profit of the transportation company, and reduce the cost to the society as a whole. The depot is an important part in the study of transportation systems. The choice of the capacity of the depots is a strategic decision. It will constrain the...

Youth care waiting list dynamics: A discrete Event Simulation approach

The Dutch youth care sector defends and supports children in their maturing process. Over last decades this complex and heavily resource bound health care system faced long waiting lists and over utilized resources. Various policies based on increasing budgets and care capacities did not result in the expected structural waiting list decreases....

Crisis response simulation combining discrete-event and agent-based modeling

This paper presents a crisis response simulation model architecture combining a discrete-event simulation (DES) environment for a crisis scenario with an agent-based model of the response organization. In multi-agent systems (MAS) as a computational organization, agents are modeled and implemented separately from the environmental model. We...
