A Procedure Model for the Credible Measurability of Data Warehouse Metrics on Discrete-event Simulation Models of Logistics Systems

This paper presents a new procedure model for the credible measurability of data warehouse key performance indicators on simulation models of discreteevent logistics systems. The basis for the new procedure model was the procedure model of information acquisition by Bernhard and Wenzel (2005). The new model consists of two parts, an input data management and an output data management. The complete procedure model has been integrated into the procedure model for simulation including V&V by Rabe et al. (2008b). Furthermore, a concept for a control software for the automated processing of the input and output data has been developed and is presented in this paper.
