“…Simulation is a method to establish the structural model and quantitative analysis model of the system which is converted into a simulation model suitable for programming on a computer and conducting simulation experiments (Ingalls 2011). The advantage of simulation is to simplify a complex system into multiple subsystems to facilitate the prediction, analysis and evaluation of system problems.…”

Despite the increasing simulation methods used by the research of transportation infrastructure resilience in the past decade, a comprehensive review of these simulation methods is lacking. Thus, this paper conducted an in-depth review of the major simulation methods adopted by the existing transportation infrastructure resilience literature, which are Monte Carlo simulation, network-based simulation, numerical simulation, and agent-based modeling and simulation. The four simulation methods were reviewed from three perspectives, namely purposes of simulation, data demands, and modeling approaches. Finally, based on the review results, this paper proposed three directions for that the research may go towards in the future. This paper contributes to the current body of knowledge by reviewing the simulation methods adopted by the research of transportation infrastructure resilience. This paper is useful to the practice as well, as it provides practitioners with a holistic view of the practical application of transportation infrastructure resilience simulation, which can enhance their knowledge and skills in this regard.

“…The use of simulation to analyze "what if" scenarios eliminates the costs and risks that are inherent to testing them in a real environment. According to Shannon, cited in Ingalls (2011Ingalls ( , p. 1379, simulation "is the process of designing a model of a real system and conducting experiments with this model for the purpose either of understanding the behavior of the system or of evaluating various strategies (within the limits imposed by a criterion or set of criteria) for the operation of the system". Regarding this definition, business processes might be seen as complex systems involving people, activities and technology under a great dependence, variability and complexity that make difficult forecast the systems performance and behavior.…”

Due to the increasing acceptance of BPM (Business Process Management), nowadays BPM tools are extensively used in organizations. Core to BPM are the process modeling languages, of which BPMN is the one that has been receiving most attention these days. Once a business process is described using BPMN, one can use a process simulation approach in order to discover its optimized form. This paper analyzes the business process modeling and simulation areas, identifying the elements that must be present in the BPMN language in order to allow processes to be simulated. During this analysis a set of existing BPM tools, which support BPMN, are compared regarding their limitations in terms of simulation capabilities. In this context, a platform to support the characterization of BPM tools regarding process simulation capabilities has been developed, which might be useful to users who want to select the most adequate BPM tool taking into account their simulation needs.

En este artículo se expone la simulación del comportamiento de una empresa de manufactura a nivel de producción con el objetivo de generar una solución para uno de sus problemas más graves que es el desabasto del producto final para atender la demanda de los clientes; se define el problema al que se enfrenta la empresa, con lo que se permite identificar las variables y parámetros para la definición del modelo, para ello se recopilaron datos históricos que se analizaron con el software estadístico R para determinar las distribuciones estadísticas. Posteriormente se desarrolló un programa simulador en el lenguaje C#, en el cual se realizaron diversos experimentos mediante los cuales se generaron resultados para su observación y análisis del comportamiento, logrando identificar que los racks se entreguen a tiempo y disminuyendo los costos extras por retardos o por exceso de racks. Se encontró que entre más racks lleguen, los tiempos de ocio y retención de las máquinas disminuye considerablemente, por lo que de acuerdo con los resultados obtenidos, se determinó que para el caso de las listas de datos proporcionadas por la empresa, es conveniente solicitar máximo 55 racks por hora, generando un promedio entre cinco o seis racks adicionales por semana. Aunque el modelo puede ayudar a la toma de decisiones para pedidos específicos, logrando determinar cuántos racks se solicitan por un tiempo establecido, la problemática abarca no solamente el inventario de racks, sino también las piezas para armar los ejes, por lo que se espera dicha información con el objetivo de generar simulaciones más detalladas y cercanas al sistema real. Descriptores: Simulación, líneas de producción, desarrollo de software, modelos discretos, empresas manufactureras.
