Simulation involves developing a model of a real phenomenon and experimenting with that model. It is a technique used for decision making, especially where mathematical methods cannot be directly applied. The process of simulation has four phases: (1) defining the problem and objectives, (2) constructing an appropriate mathematical or conceptual model, (3) experimenting with the model, and (4) evaluating the results. The goal is to estimate the effects of decisions before implementing them in the real world.

• Remaining text:28 size times new roman 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. Contd… • 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.
