Abstract
This paper develops a discrete-event hybrid simulation/analytic model for the study of production networks. The system is represented by a s et of onlinear difference equations for the slow-varying dynamics, whi ch are tractable by simulation, and a set of piecewise linear algebrai c equations for the fast dynamics, which are solved analytically. The resulting algorithm saves a great amount of computation and is much fa ster than conventional piece-by-piece simulators.
