Abstract:
This article presents a discrete event simulation tool/engine, which we are currently developing in Julia – making use of the SimJulia package – to assist with long term manpower management of our organization. Although this tool is inspired by one particular case, our ultimate goal is to make this tool as generic and configurable as possible, while also being easy to use. We go into some detail about the inner workings of the tool, highlight its current capabilities, and elaborate on the technologies used to develop it and on how users, both expert and casual, can interact with the tool. At each point, we highlight the features that are still in development, and the points where the tool requires improvement.
