I am Andrew Siprelle, founder of:
- Simulation Dynamics, Inc. (SDI), and
- ChiAha, Inc.
I am the originator of the discrete rate simulation technique.
I have a conflict of interest with this article and am submitting this
edit request rather than editing directly per WP:COI.
The article currently does not describe the origin or history of the
technique. I propose adding a "History" section between the lead and
"Areas of application", with the following text. All claims are
supported by published, peer-reviewed sources.
== History ==
The discrete rate simulation paradigm was introduced by Andrew
Siprelle in 1990 to address the limitations of conventional discrete
event simulation in modeling high-speed continuous-process and
bulk-flow manufacturing systems, where unit-by-unit event tracking is
computationally prohibitive and dynamically inaccurate.[1]
The first peer-reviewed publication of the technique appeared at the
1995 Winter Simulation Conference under the title Modeling a Bulk
Manufacturing System Using Extend.[1]
The methodology was developed across a series of further Winter
Simulation Conference papers through the late 1990s and early 2000s —
including the 2002 Non-Item Based Discrete-Event Simulation
Tools[2] — and a 2016 Springer
chapter comparing it head-to-head with conventional discrete event
simulation.[3] In 2020, the technique's accuracy was independently assessed
in a Winter Simulation Conference paper by Tom Lange (formerly Director
of Modeling and Simulation, Procter & Gamble Corporate R&D) and J.
Fischel, which reported validation within 1% [[Overall equipment
effectiveness|overall equipment effectiveness]] on real production
lines.[4]
