Abstract

Due to the complexity of production and logistics systems, more and more expert know-how is necessary for building adequate simulation models and for designing the right experiments for the requested aims of investigation. To support simulation studies as efficient and high-quality projects, there are different development activities like specialised unit libraries, model generation algorithms, procedure models or decision support systems. Based on the results of the joint research project AssistSim, this article presents a new approach of designing and executing experiments as one innovative possibility for support while performing simulations studies.
