Event Scheduling in Simulation Models

The document discusses the Event Scheduling Time Advance Algorithm, focusing on key concepts such as service completion, external arrivals, and the generation of runtimes and downtimes. It emphasizes the importance of defining a stopping event for simulations, which can be scheduled at a specified future time or determined by the occurrence of a specific event. Overall, the simulation analyst's role is to concentrate on events and their impact on the system state.

Modeling and Simulation

The Event Scheduling


Time Advance Algorithm-
IV

1
Service Completion

• Beginning service is a
conditional event
because its
occurrence is
triggered only on the
condition that a
customer is present
and a server is free
• Service completion is
an example of a
primary event

2
Generation Of An External Arrival

3
Runtimes And Downtimes

• A third important
example is the alternate
generation of runtimes
and downtimes for a
machine subject to
breakdowns.
• At time 0 , the first
runtime will be
generated, and an end-
of-runtime event will be
scheduled.

4
Stopping Event, E

• Every Simulation must


have a stopping event,
here called E, which
defines how long the
simulation will run.
• There are generally two
ways to stop a
simulation

5
Stopping Event, E

1. At time 0, schedule a
stop simulation event
at a specified future
time TE’.
– Thus, before
simulating, it is
known that
simulation will run
over the time
interval[0, TE ].
Example: Simulate a
job shop for TE -40
hours.
6
Stopping Event, E

• Run length TE is
determined by the
simulation itself.
• Generally, TE is the time
of occurrence of some
• specified event E.
Examples: T E is the time
of the l00th service
completion at a certain
service center

7
Stopping Event, E

• TE is the time of break


down of a complex
system. TE is the time of
disengagement or total
kill (whichever _ occurs
first) in a combat
simulation. TE is the
time at which a
distribution center ships
the last carton in a day's
orders.

8
Summary

• To summarize the
discussion, when using
the Event-scheduling
Approach, a simulation
analyst concentrates on
events and their effect
on system state
