INTRODUCTION
• “Simulation means imitation or copying”.
• Simulation is a very potent tool available to managers
for decision making.
• It can be applied where mathematical methods may or
may not apply.
• Simulation involves developing a model of some real
phenomenon and then performing experiments on the
model evolved.
• It is descriptive technique and not optimizing
technique.

• EXAMPLE: For aerodynamic testing scaled down
model of aeroplanes are built and placed in the wind
tunnels to check the aerodynamic properties of the
plane.
• Simulation can be applied to numerous areas like
inventory control, queuing systems, project
management and capital budgeting.
• Benefit of simulation is from the viewpoint of analyst
is that results of taking any particular action can be
estimated prior to the implementation of the action in
the real world.
PROCESS OF SIMULATION
It has four phases:
1. Problem definition & statement of Objectives.
2. Construction of an appropriate model.
3.Experimentation with the Model.
4.Evaluation of the result of simulation.
1. Problem definition & statement of Objectives.
2. Construction of an appropriate model.

• A simulation Model may be mathematical or physical


model, a mental concept, or a combination.
• Mathematical model is preferred over physical model
because it is not expensive and in this mathematical
symbols or equations are used to represent the
relationship in the system.
Contd…
• Collection of data is very important task in this phase.
• The data is needed both for model development and
evaluation.
• The type of data needed are directly governed by scope
and extent of the details of simulation.

The model for the simulation must be so designed that


it would enable evaluation of the key decision
alternatives
3.Experimentation with the Model.
4.Evaluation of the result of simulation.

• The last step is the analysis and interpretation of the


results of the runs.
• The interpretation of the result depends on the extent
to which the simulation model portrays the reality,i.e.
closer the approximation of the real system by
simulation model, lesser will be the need for adjusting
the result and lesser will be the risk inherent in
applying the result.
