In some cases customers want to perform the analysis of a
specific simulation model themselves. It might also be the
case that a simulation model is used for operational planning
analysis. In such cases we can provide a working model environment.
The model will be controlled by simple parameter and database
use alone. This enables users to work with a model without
in-depth knowledge of the model or the simulation package it
has been built in.
The following steps can be distinguished in a model-building
project
- Define the concept model (the blue-print
of a model)
- Model building (the translation of the concept
in a computer model)
- Verifying and validating (extensive testing)
The defining and testing phases are done in close relationship
with the customer to ensure that the customer's expectations
are met in detail.
