Discrete Event Simulation Control for Production Plan Optimization

The patent segments the simulation system into multiple independent simulators that can operate in parallel, each handling specific simulation tasks. This segmentation allows the system to distribute computational load across multiple units, reducing the hardware burden on any single device while maintaining overall simulation accuracy through coordinated operation of the segmented components.

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-defining simulation conditions, parameters, and logic structures that can be reused across multiple simulation runs. This preliminary setup reduces the need for complex logic development for each individual simulation, thereby maintaining high simulation accuracy while significantly improving execution speed through template-based and parameterized simulation approaches.

The patent uses copying by creating reusable simulation models and logic templates that can be replicated and adapted for different production scenarios. Instead of developing detailed scheduler logics from scratch for each optimization task, the system copies and modifies existing simulation frameworks, significantly reducing development time while maintaining production optimization capabilities through parameter adjustment rather than logic reconstruction.

The patent applies dimensionality change by transitioning from sequential simulation processing to parallel processing across multiple simulators operating simultaneously. This dimensional shift from one-dimensional sequential execution to multi-dimensional parallel execution enables the system to handle a large number of assumed cases comprehensively while distributing the computational burden, thereby maintaining solution comprehensiveness without proportionally increasing hardware costs.
