| Abstract | The cycle-time distribution of manufacturing systems employing dispatching rules other than FIFO can be both highly skewed and have heavy tails. Previous cycle-time quantile estimation work has suggested that the Cornish-Fisher expansion can be used in conjunction with discreteevent simulation to provide cycle-time quantile estimates for a variety of systems operating under FIFO dispatching without requiring excess data storage. However, when the cycle-time distribution exhibits heavy skewness and kurtosis, the accuracy of quantile estimates obtained using the Cornish-Fisher expansion may degrade, sometimes severely. This paper demonstrates the degradation and motivates the need for a modification to the Cornish-Fisher expansion for estimating quantiles under non-FIFO |
