A webshop for simulation developers

In this article I introduce my webshop for simulation model development experts. Being a simulation developer myself I have spent a lot of time developing simulation models from scratch. Sometimes I asked myself why no one has created a webshop…

Numba speeds up monte-carlo simulation

In today’s post I will provide another example that shows how numba can speed up a numerical simulation. I apply the module to a monte-carlo simulation of stock price random walks. This is a popular monte-carlo simulation example and I…

Faster Python simulations with Numba

An essential part of simulation modeling is simulation runtime. Large discrete-event simulation models and even medium-sized agent-based simulation models consume computational ressources and can have a very long runtime. This is especially true if the source code is fully written…

Monte-carlo animation with gganimate

In this article I implement a monte-carlo animation using gganimate in R. In one of my previous posts I introduced monte-carlo simulation. Monte-carlo simulation is one of the widely applied simulation techniques in supply chain management and operations management. I…

Simulation methods for SCM analysts

Simulation is becoming increasingly popular for factory planning, process design, supply chain optimization and supply chain management. In this article I provide a basic overview and introduction of relevant simulation methods. It is important to point out that when choosing…
