Stockage Policy Simulation and Virtual Inventory Optimization
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009Excerpt: (Read the full post »)
Retail stockage policy, for merchandising or military applications, all have in common three decision rules which can be simulated (with or without constraints such as budget, quantity discounts, or warehouse space) using empirical or stochastic demand distributions to determine optimum customer satisfaction levels. Walt discusses the role of simulation and modeling and Foresight’s approach to solving the problems.
RAMS & Multi-Core Embedded Systems

Paul tells a story about a Model Driven Systems Engineering experience from his questionable past. It involves sleepless nights in Las Vegas, loud music, and simulation.
Predicting and measuring processor utilization
Monday, October 8th, 2007Excerpt: (Read the full post »)
Processor utilization can have a direct economic impact and is a very important design consideration. Fortunately, there are several techniques for predicting your system’s processor utilization. We compare various methodologies and suggest the most robust approach.
Leveraging Excel for Parameter Management and Batch Execution
Wednesday, October 4th, 2006Excerpt: (Read the full post »)
Parameters help make your models more flexible and improve reusability. A data management program, like Excel can be a powerful ally in both managing your model’s parameters and executing sets of batch simulations using ranges of parameters. This post explains how.
A Few “Best Practices”

Some advice on using Foresight’s tools most effectively. Specific items include: partitioning the design to make team modeling easier, use an SCM tool to manage source file versions, manage data dictionaries via #include files, manage model parameters with Excel, using ACCESS for data analysis, leveraging External calls and Bridgeway to reference existing implementation and using the Alternative data type.
