1 - What is Simulation?

Computer Model. A simulation is a computer model that mimics the operation of a business system, such as the running of a factory assembly line, the staff assignment of a hospital or call center, or the day-to-day operation of a bank.

Time Based. SIMUL8 simulations are time based and consider all interactions between activities resources and constraints.

Random. SIMUL8 also allows for real-life randomness, for example: it doesn't always take exactly 5 minutes for a customer to be served and a customer doesn't always arrive every 15 minutes. This means that the model really can match reality and behaves the same way as the system would in real life.

Experiment. With simulation you can quickly try out your ideas at a fraction of the cost of trying them in real life. As a result of being able to try ideas quickly, you can have many more ideas, and gain many insights into how to run the organization more effectively.
