Discussion Questions

Each question need to be at least 200 words.

1. Describe a current problem facing your department, organization, or industry that would indicate the need for simulation. What key factors of this business situation indicate the need for simulation (versus the other modeling techniques covered in the course)? Support your response with rationale from the readings.

2. Consider some of the examples you have brought up in earlier topics. Describe the key differences between simulation models and the models covered earlier in the course. Outline how the approach to solving this problem would differ in terms of applying and computing/solving the models.
