Simulation as a decision support tool in maintenance float systems. In European Concurrent Engineering. London, UK.http://hdl.handle.net/10198/8958This paper is concerned with the use of simulation as a decision support tool in maintenance systems, specifically in MFS (Maintenance Float Systems). For this purpose and due to its high complexity, in this paper the authors explore and present a possible way to construct a MFS model using Arena® simulation language, where some of the most common performance measures are identified, calculated and analysed.engDiscrete event simulationMaintenance float systemsconference paper
