Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT) is a costly, long-running process that includes several decision points in different stages. Small changes in the protocol can impact significantly the expenditures and healthcare outcomes. Unfortunately, policy makers have very little support for benchmarking improvement alternatives. The existing models are designed to fit certain applications with preset parameters and design choices which do not match with the requirements of a policy analysis. A generic approach is required to analyze the effects of different design options adjustable to finer scales. To remedy this, this paper describes a novel toolkit for evaluating renal replacement policies, containing a parametrized colored Petri-Net which can be configured for the specifics of local settings. The model is made available for open access to overcome the non-replicability issue of existing models.","PeriodicalId":145780,"journal":{"name":"2017 Winter Simulation Conference (WSC)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127981491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, simulation models are only approximations to reality, and often bear discrepancies with the generating processes of real output data. We investigate a framework to statistically learn these discrepancies under the presence of data on past implemented system configurations, which allows us to improve prediction using simulation models. We focus on the case of general continuous output data that generalizes previous work. Our approach utilizes (a combination of) regression analysis and optimization formulations constrained on suitable summary statistics. We demonstrate our approach with a numerical example.","PeriodicalId":145780,"journal":{"name":"2017 Winter Simulation Conference (WSC)","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115958388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although respite care seems a promising solution, no quantitative analysis has yet been provided to demonstrate its positive impact. In this article, we propose (i) a new model of caregivers' burnout evolution based on Markov chain and machine learning to model health state evolution, and (ii) a multi-agent based simulation approach to describe the burnout evolution of caregivers and the impact of respite structures on the system. Optimal capacity of respite structures is obtained through a design of experiment. Several management strategies are also tested (collaboration between structures, reservation of beds for emergent cases). Key performance indicators considered are quality of service and costs. Results show a positive impact of respite services on both quality of service and costs. The model also show a trade-off between quality of service and costs when bed reservation policies are used.","PeriodicalId":145780,"journal":{"name":"2017 Winter Simulation Conference (WSC)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133892019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ANN models were made by a series of EnergyPlus pre-simulations sampled by a Monte Carlo technique. The MBE and CVRMSE between EnergyPlus and ANN models are 1.53% and 7.82%, respectively.

Reliable plans outlining the dispatching of plow trucks must be made to deliver snow removal operations on time and within budget. Historical project performance data can be used to inform and facilitate decision-making processes associated with snow removal operations. This research proposes a data-driven simulation framework for planning snow removal projects considering weather and truck-related data collected by real-time sensors. An in-house developed simulation engine, Simphony.Net, is used to simulate operations based on input information extracted from mined sensor data. This model is capable of simulating plow operations to facilitate planning at both an operational and real-time level. What-if scenarios can be generated to simulate, predict, and optimize project and resource performance. A case study conducted in Alberta, Canada is presented to illustrate the practical application of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":145780,"journal":{"name":"2017 Winter Simulation Conference (WSC)","volume":"210 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134000843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We develop a discrete-event simulation of a multi-echelon supply chain, utilizing Rockwell Automation's Arena software tool, to investigate this phenomenon. We investigate inventory order history blackouts of three different durations (1, 2, and 3 time periods). Based on the increased bullwhip effect observed as the result of an information blackout, managers may decide to “wait out” the amplification or to use an estimate to replace the missing inventory order history by utilizing the last known value. The latter choice employs the common manager's heuristic of trusting the recent past to be the best predictor of the future. Our results provide supporting evidence for such managerial decisions.","PeriodicalId":145780,"journal":{"name":"2017 Winter Simulation Conference (WSC)","volume":"141 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131905078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Next, these objects are equipped with global positions data and pinned to semantic and functional enrichment construction places.
