Simulation Case Studies

Case studies demonstrate simulation methodology across domains.

Inventory Simulation

Models demand, lead times, reorder points. Evaluates ordering policies. Outputs: inventory levels, stockout frequency, cost.

Queuing System

Bank teller simulation. Poisson arrivals, exponential service. Compares queue configurations and server counts.

Network Simulation

Packet arrivals, routing, buffers. NS-3, OMNeT++ for network simulation.

Manufacturing

Production line workstations, breakdowns, buffers. Identifies bottlenecks, optimises throughput.

Project Scheduling

PERT with probability distributions. Monte Carlo reveals deadline probabilities.

Hospital ED

Patient arrivals, triage, treatment times. Evaluates staffing and process redesign.

Summary

Case studies build simulation proficiency through diverse practical applications.
