“…Existing models can be optimized using various tools available in ARENA like OptQuest which can be achieved by changing the resources available (Neeraj, Nithin, Niranjhan, Sumesh, & Thenarasu, 2018). Similarly ARENA and discrete event simulation has been utilised in shipyard studies as well; from design of the yard to optimisation (Caprace, Moreira Freire, Assiss, Martin Pires, & Rigo, 2011;Chabane, 2004;Goo, Chung, & Han, 2019;Ju, Sung, Shen, Jeong, & Shin, 2020;Ozkok, 2012;Song & Woo, 2013) in order to increase the throughput, decreasing the costs or to boost the utilisation of the resources in the shipyards.…”
