Abstract

Modeling and simulation (M&S) play a significant role in management and decision making in modern enterprises. New methods, techniques and tools have been arising to help organizations to succeed in M&S. We can find many cases of successfully application of M&S in organizations, but normally departmental efforts. Mature enterprises must have M&S managed and optimized efforts in all their departments. Enterprise wide M&S efforts are challenging and few enterprises succeed on it. This challenge is little explored in literature. Enterprise wide M&S is a complex and multidisciplinary effort and need an integrated view. This paper explores M&S enterprise wide efforts. It offers an integrated approach that links technical and behavioral aspects. It also recommends an enterprise competence center in order to organize and drive the modeling and simulation efforts.
