Modeling and Analysis

The outcome of this step is a number of alternative supply chain configuratiOTis characterized by their performance measurements and the results of sensitivity analysis. 

The modeling and analysis step yields multiple alternative supply chain configurations. The purpose of this step is to select the most appropriate configuration for implementation. The decision-making step includes definition of evaluation criteria, comparison of the alternatives according to these criteria and what-if 

Acceptance of results, pertains to a managerial decision-making problem area (Maccrimmon and Taylor 1976). One of the key problems during this step is interpretation of results given by multiple models and distilling the final decision

Progress in modelling and analysis of the crack problem in solids as well as contact problems for elastic and elastoplastic plates and shells gives rise to new attempts in using modern approaches to boundary value problems. The novel viewpoint of traditional treatment to many such problems, like the crack theory, enlarges the range of questions which can be clarified by mathematical tools.

This book provides an introduction to basic concepts and the most popular experimental designs without going into extensive detail. In contrast to most other books, the emphasis in the development of many of the underlying models and analysis methods is on a regression, rather than an analysis-of-variance, viewpoint.

Figure 22.2 Three different clinical phase II trials, each with slightly different end points, are compared on an eqnal footing. This comparison is made possible by nsing these diverse data to derive a single model with a nniform end point. It is clear that the maximum effect was approached in only one trial. Modeling and analysis of the data would likely have suggested phase II trials that included more data at higher doses.

Nowadays, best practice is to combine both modelling and analysis of chemicals for an appropriate assessment of chemical exposure in environmental scenarios. Future research activities should focus on the development of reliable analytical methods at trace level concentrations. 

In most circumstances, performance-based standards are preferred by industry, as such standards tend not to limit innovative solutions or inhibit technological progress. The trend among SDOs and CDOs seems to favor performance-based requirements when feasible and when there is sufficient industry support for them during the development of a particular standard. Development of such requirements, in turn, often requires additional RD D to obtain data and conduct modeling and analysis. The DOE supports RD D needed to determine requirements that are to the extent possible performance-based.

An important feature is that, with the exception of the catalyst synthesis, this is a fully automated process. Indeed, we envisage that in industry the entire process, including the synthesis and testing, can be automated using commercially available synthesis robots. If robotic synthesis and screening is available, the size of the test sets can be increased. Moreover, it is precisely the automated modelling and analysis aspect that is lacking in the robotic laboratory workflow. 

In 1983, SPICE 2G.6 was released and remained the industry standard for many years. Motivated by the increased use of UNIX workstations and superior programming tools, SPICE 2 was converted into the C programming language and released as SPICE 3. Although SPICE 3 is not entirely backward compatible with SPICE 2, the new features far outweigh this drawback. SPICE 3 has a technical advantage of being readily modified because it is written in C. SPICE 3 also offers more and improved device models and analysis functions. 

Alhambra and co-workers adopted a QM/MM strategy to better understand quantum mechanical effects, and particularly the influence of tunneling, on the observed primary kinetic isotope effect of 3.3 in this system (that is, the reaction proceeds 3.3 times more slowly when the hydrogen isotope at C-2 is deuterium instead of protium). In order to carry out their analysis they combined fully classical MD trajectories with QM/MM modeling and analysis using variational transition-state theory. Kinetic isotope effects (KIEs), tunneling, and variational transition state theory are discussed in detail in Chapter 15 - we will not explore these topics in any particular depth in this case study, but will focus primarily on the QM/MM protocol. 

A full appreciation of the stability characteristics of any system requires dynamic modeling and analysis of the system. Detailed dynamic modeling and analysis are beyond the scope of this Appendix. However, broad insights into the stability and dynamic characteristics of a system can be extracted from a steady-state analysis. In subsection A-2.3.2 we give a simple and brief introduction to the dynamical side of the picture.
