Rapid Modelling for Increasing Competitiveness

This proceedings volume of selected papers presented at the 1st Rapid Modelling Conference "Increasing Competitiveness Tools and Mindset" gives a state-of-the-art overview of current research and new developments in the field of rapid modelling linked with lead time reduction. Rapid Modelling is generally based on queuing theory, but other mathematical modelling techniques are of interest, as are simulation models to facilitate the transfer of knowledge from theory to application, providing the theoretical foundations for successful lead time reduction.
