“…Thus one of the aims of hybrid simulation should be to encourage simulation education and training to span all three approaches. Hoad and Kunc (2018) provide a case study of teaching system dynamics and discrete-event simulation together as an example of how this could be approached in practice.…”

Hybrid Simulation in the Operational Research (OR) domain can be defined as the combination of two or more of the simulation methods of discrete-event simulation, agent-based simulation and system dynamics. This article examines how this combination might be achieved by reviewing the characteristics of the simulation methods, considering design view options and taking into account software tools for implementation. The purpose is to provide guidance on how hybrid simulation configurations can be designed and implemented.

“…The ranking thus, will be in the form DES, SD and ABM. Their research also shows a clear trend in understanding DES modelling skills as compared to SD modelling skills [19]. A reason for this could be that students may not readily recognise feedback loops when they analyse SD simulation models, as linear thinking is a norm for novice modellers [29,41].…”

“…Ease and speed of building a simulation model also informs the choice of modelling for many researchers. From their investigation into the teaching of SD & DES [19] found out that student modellers found it much easier to conceptualise material aspects of a system using DES than conceptualising the intangible properties of the same system using SD modelling. The ranking thus, will be in the form DES, SD and ABM.…”

Towards a simulation-based understanding of smart remanufacturing operations: a comparative analysis

While the majority of literature on remanufacturing operations examines an end-oflife (EOL) strategy which is both manual and mechanised, authors generally agree that digitalisation of remanufacturing is expected to increase in the next decade. Subsequently, a new research area described as digitally-enabled remanufacturing, remanufacturing 4.0 or smart remanufacturing is emerging. This is an automated, data-driven system of remanufacturing by means of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) paradigms. Insights into smart remanufacturing can be provided through simulation modelling of the remanufacturing process. While the use of simulation modelling in order to predict responses and behaviour is prevalent in remanufacturing, the use of these tools in smart remanufacturing is still limited in literature. The goal of this research is to present, as a first of its kind, a comparative understanding of simulation modelling in remanufacturing in order to suggest the ideal modelling tool for smart remanufacturing. The proposed comparison includes system dynamics, discrete event simulation and agent based modelling techniques. We apply these modelling techniques on a smart remanufacturing space of a sensor-enabled product and use assumptions derived from industry experts. We then proceed to model the remanufacturing operation from sorting and inspection of cores to final inspection of the remanufactured product. Through our analysis of the assumptions utilised and simulation modelling results we conclude that, while individual modelling techniques present important strategic and operational insights, their individual use may not be sufficient to offer comprehensive knowledge to remanufacturers due to the challenge of data complexity that smart remanufacturing offers.

“…(2) Implementation Mechanism of Radial Drawings Algorithm. e core idea of the algorithm is that if T contains leaf nodes, then remove all the leaf nodes in the tree T, and then form a new tree by the remaining nodes, which is defined as T′; perform recursion of this process until the final layout tree does not contain leaf nodes, then define the center of the new tree as the tree center of the layout tree [18].…”

An efficient and effective management is mandatory for the success of every organization, especially educational institutes. Following the course curriculum and completing it in time are beneficial for the students and the colleges’ reputation in educational institutes. In this paper, intelligent management of physical education curriculum is designed using a Web-based teaching assistant system. The multilayer designed system provides convenience for teachers and students of health and physical education. The data layer collects input data from users and transmits it to the storage layer after being compiled by the decoder. The layer uses memory to save the transmitted data and integrate the saved data into the expansion chip and transmit it to the transmission layer. The Web server at this layer outputs the transmitted data in the form of an HTML structure file through a CGI program and feeds back the output to the browser of the application layer. The man-machine interaction interface of the application layer uses a large-scale hierarchical information visualization method to show data on the browser to users. The experimental results show that the system has comprehensive functions, fast processing speed, and low energy consumption. It has a good page display effect, which is in line with the user’s visual cognition; the recall rate of curriculum scheduling data and curriculum selection data is always higher than 96%, and the data analysis ability is excellent.
