Importance of Handling Resources’ Incorporation Into Simulation Expert System Approach

摘要

Resource sizing problem is defined as the specification of the number of each resource type to be used in a production process to obtain the required performances. Several researches have chosen developing an approach coupling simulation and optimization to solve this type of problem. However; these researchers differ by used tools and by resource types studied. One of these approaches is the Simulation Expert System Approach “SESA” developed by Masmoudi and al [1]. This work aims firstly to highlight the tendency of the simulationoptimization tools used by “SESA”. Secondly, this paper investigates the importance of handling resources' incorporation in this approach.
