A
statistical modeling process involved in queuing problems
resulting from random events. Simulation is used to
test systems before costly capital investment is in
implementation.

Simulation
Modeling is a tool used for operational research dealing
with queuing problems. This tool can help an organization
make wise decisions before committing time and capital.
Some typical applications for Simulation modeling are:
How many ports are needed in a telecommunications
network?
How many nurse stations are needed on a hospital
floor?
How many customer service reps are needed in
a call center?
How many forklift drivers are needed in a warehouse,
etc?
