  • Abstract
    In this tutorial we present an introduction to simulation-based optimization, which is, perhaps, the most important new simulation technology in the last five years. We give a precise statement of the problem being addressed and also experimental results for two commercial optimization packages applied to a manufacturing example with seven decision variables.
