GUIDE TO SIMULATION SCHEDULING

Abstract : Simulation Scheduling is a comprehensive software package for project scheduling and analysis developed at the Operations Research Center of the University of California at Berkeley. It is designed for use in project-oriented production systems which have inflexible resource capacities limiting the execution of multiple projects with uncertain work requirements. The package operates on an IBM mainframe utilizing the VM/SP operating system to compile CMS Fortran interactive commands and batch processing code. As described in this manual, the user may interactively edit data, perform simulations and statistical analysis, create schedules and obtain tabular or graphical ouput. Keywords: Project scheduling; Resource allocation; Simulation; Activity intensities; Rework subnetworks; Computerized analysis.
