Abstract

Simulation is a powerful methodology for decision support because it allows managers to experiment with models prior to implementing a policy or decision. There are several approaches to computer simulation: continuous event simulation, discrete event simulation, and Monte Carlo simulation. Continuous event simulation can be used to model dynamic system which cannot otherwise be easily modeled.
