Designing a flexible approach for higher professional education by means of simulation modelling / A. Schellekens in Journal of the operational research society (JORS), Vol. 61 N° 2 (Fevrier 2010)

Educational programmes have an operational structure which restricts their flexibility. Design principles from the fields of operations management and instructional design were applied for the design of a flexible approach in educational programmes. In a case study, the curriculum and operational data from an institute for higher professional education in the Netherlands were used to develop a discrete-event simulation model, in order to demonstrate effects of operational changes on the flexibility of their educational programmes. Programme coordinators of the institute validated the model and considered it as a feasible solution for organizing their educational programmes, and as a contribution to educational innovation.

Implementing a discrete-event simulation software selection methodology for supporting decision making at Accenture / T. W. Tewoldeberhan in Journal of the operational research society (JORS), Vol. 61 N° 10 (Octobre 2010) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of the operational research society (JORS) > Vol. 61 N° 10 (Octobre 2010) . - pp. 1446–1458 Titre : Implementing a discrete-event simulation software selection methodology for supporting decision making at Accenture Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : T. W. Tewoldeberhan, Auteur ; A. Verbraeck, Auteur ; V. Hlupic, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : pp. 1446–1458 Note générale : Recherche opérationnelle Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Simulation  Software  selection  Methodology Index. décimale : 001.424 Résumé : For large international companies with their own simulation team, it is often hard to make a decision related to selection of new discrete-event simulation software. This paper presents a comprehensive discrete-event simulation software selection methodology that has been successfully used for decision making at Accenture consulting company. Accenture already used a simulation tool at the start of the project, but wanted to find out whether the current tool used still was the most appropriate one for its needs, and to evaluate the latest discrete-event simulation tools. The developed methodology consists of two phases: phase 1 quickly reduces the long list to a short list of packages, and phase 2 matches the requirements of the company with the features of the simulation package in detail. Successful application of the proposed methodology indicates its possible application for decision making in other large organisations, provided that the study is performed by a third party to avoid risks of influencing the outcome of the selection process.
