Abstract

The aim of this paper is to provide background information on the existing literature on experimental design techniques which may be applicable to the design of computer simulation experiments for industrial systems. Although major emphasis is placed on analysis of variance techniques, three other techniques of data analysis are considered—multiple ranking procedures, sequential sampling and spectral analysis. The paper treats four specific experimental design problems and several techniques for solving them. The four experimental design problems are: (1) the problem of stochastic convergence, (2) the problem of factor selection, (3) the problem of motive and (4) the many response problem.

Abstract

This paper presents the motivation for the construction of a digital computer simulation of the American military's strategic airlift system, the author's analysis of that system preparatory to the simulation design, and the currently anticipated application of the model to studies of strategic mobility. Emphasis is placed on the estimation of the airlift productivity function for its subsequent utilization in appropriate strategic mobility models employed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Systems Analysis). Those variables suspected of being primary contributors to gains in marginal airlift productivity are delineated in a description of the modules constituting the model. Finally, a sketch of an hypothetical experimental design, permitting the systems analyst to specify sequentially model iterations so as to obtain valid statistical estimates of desired marginal productivities, serves as a conclusion to the paper.
