ABSTRACT

In this tutorial we give a definitive and comprehensive seven-step approach for conducting a successful simulation study. Topics to be discussed include problem formulation, collection and analysis of data, developing a valid and credible model, modeling sources of system randomness, design and analysis of simulation experiments, and project management.
