Simulation

1. Dymamics

   • system
     • Flow
       • The movement of this resource
     • stock
       • Accumulation of a resource
   • Focus of analysis: Human based systems
   • Function
     • Maps a problem onto a generic structure
     • Understand
       • Why things happen?
     • Identify
       • Structure behind behavior
     • Describe human systems in terms of fedback
       • Negative feedback
         • Eliminate difference between input and output
       • positive feedback
         • Add the variance
   • Timescale of analysis
     • months-years
   • Level of implementacion
     • Strategic

2. Discrete event

   • Function
     • Measure performance
       • Generationg reports by using a software
     • Use to replicate the structure
       • Modeling of a system that can be represented by a series of events
         • process map
         • By colleting data
           • process flows
           • process time
           • Demand patterns
         • Model Resultant
           • Useful predictor od real system
   • Hard OR
   • Focus of analysis: Production based system
