How to build valid and credible simulation models

Abstract: In this tutorial we present techniques for building valid and credible simulation models. Ideas to be discussed include the importance of a definitive problem formulation, discussions with subject-matter experts, interacting with the decision-maker on a regular basis, development of a written assumptions document, structured walk-through of the assumptions document, use of sensitivity analysis to determine important model factors, and comparison of model and system output data for an existing system (if any). … Show more

“…As stated before, several different proposals have been set forth for building simulation models, but they all have in common a series of steps and recommendations [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], Firstly, the purpose of the model needs to be established. This determines key questions to be addressed and the elements to be simulated.…”
