Abstract

This paper presents the modeling of batch processes using discrete event simulation. Discrete event simulation is often used for transactional-based processes; however, this paper describes an example of representing each batch as a single transaction in order to model process cycle time and utility usage. An example is provided to demonstrate the use of this method for simulating water-for-injection usage in a biopharmaceutical process.
