The authors aim to contribute to the research on improvement of service quality and on service design by discussing service concepts through a process oriented approach. They begin by reviewing the service definitions given by some well known researchers working on service. They propose a new...

The use of the simulation to improve the efficiency and the effectiveness of the service production is indispensable. In addition, the process modeling depends on the objectives and the properties of the approach used (object based simulation, object oriented simulation, agent based simulation)....

In this paper we examine the various effects that workstations and rework loops with identical parallel processors and stochastic processing times have on the performance of a mixed-model production line. Of particular interest are issues related to sequence scrambling. In many production...
