The Mikes Bikes simulation is an exciting and interesting way to gain critical insights into the development of a business. By operating a simulated bicycle manufacturing corporation over a period of ten years was an opportunity to gain insights on a real entrepreneurial experience. It allowed us to expand on the ideas taught in class such as creating a business strategy and using tools like SWOT and Porter’s five forces. We had many assumptions initially regarding the procedures but gradually

Simulation Review Amber Gosney HCS/405 February 11, 2013 Paul Herskovitz Simulation Review This paper provides information regarding a simulation review that was intended to show how a hospital determines revenue and expenditures. The information was based on the Elijah Heart Center (EHC), and all decision was made with careful analysis of EHC employees, along with me. Capital Shortage In the simulation activity I chose two types of cost-cutting options. The first

Simulation Review HCS405 Jan1, 2014 Simulation Review Introduction: Elijah hospital provides both cardiac diagnostic services as well as rehabilitation programs. In this simulation, we will evaluate and assess the funding options for obtaining a new or refurbished medical equipment. Phase 1: By reducing the agency staff, the organization will be saving a lot of money. The other cutting option, that I selected, was hiring unlicensed staff. The second option for phase I is based

designing tools for blanking and shearing. In addition, designing the process and tooling for a) hot stamping of boron steels, b) warm forming of Al and Mg alloys, and c) optimizing the use of servo-drive presses require advanced Finite Element based simulation methods. CPF is conducting R&D in most of these topics and also in many hot and cold forging related topics. This paper gives an overview of this research and discusses how the research results are applied in cooperation with industry. Keywords:

Introduction This chapter describes our work in evolution of buildable designs using miniature plastic bricks as modular components. Lego 1 bricks are well known for their flexibility when it comes to creating low cost, handy designs of vehicles and structures. Their simple modular concept make toy bricks a good ground for doing evolution of computer simulated structures which can be built and deployed. Instead of incorporating an expert system of engineering knowledge into the program, which

Network Management Centre, a generic Interlocking, a Radio Block Centre, a Track Simulator including both conventional and TCS equipment, a Driver Desk, a European Vital Computer and a Driver MMI. The components are modelled using software-based simulations hosted on networked PCs. The simulator has been valuable in the engineering evaluation and validation of emergent system architectures, and enables system constraints to be explored and defined. ERTMS operational modes and the transitions between

Discrete-Event System Simulation 1 Introduction to Simulation A simulation is the imitation of the operation of a real-world process or system over time. Whether done by hand or on a computer, simulation involves the generation of an artificial history of a system, and the observation of that artificial history to draw inferences concerning the operating characteristics of the real system. The behavior of a system as it evolves over time is studied by developing a simulation model. This model
