Modeling and Simulation

Framework: Simulation
Table Design

1
Simulation Table Design
• Each sim table is custom
designed for the
problem at hand.
• Each column can have
various types

2
Column Types
• An activity time
associated with the
input
• Any other random
variable defined by an
input
• A system state
• An event or clock time
of an event
• Model output
• Sometimes, a model
response

3
General Guidelines: Input
– Input Characteristics
– Probability distributions
– Constants

4
General Guidelines: Activities
– Activities
– Events
– System states
– Sorting the relevant from
the irrelevant

5
General Guidelines: Model Responses
– Summary performance
measures
– Correlate with objectives
and specific questions

6
General Guidelines: Model Outputs
– Determine the outputs
needed to compute the
model response

7
General Guidelines: Simulation Table
– Construct the simulation
table

8
General Guidelines: Simulation Table
– For each step i, generate
a value for each activity.
– Next, calculate the
system states
– Finally calculate the
outputs

9
General Guidelines: Simulation Table
– In the end, use the
outputs to compute the
model responses or
measures of
performance

10
Summary
– In this module, we have
examined a generic
framework for
developing simulation
models (spreadsheet-
based)
– It essentially follows a
step-by-step procedure
