1 Identify four reasons for using simulation models. |
Review the section “Reasons for Using Simulation Models,” pp. E-1–E-2 for four reasons why simulation is useful. |
|
2 Perform a manual simulation using the Monte Carlo simulation process |
See section “The Monte Carlo Simulation Process,” pp. E-2–E-6, which shows how random-number assignments are made for each random event. Focus on Table E.2. We also describe the model formulation process. Study Example E.2 to see how the eight steps are performed. Solved Problem 1 also provides an example. |
