Abstract

Describes how a simulation project should be performed in order to ensure a successful outcome. This involves skills in both simulation and project management. The paper concentrates on the process of performing a simulation project rather than specific methods required during the course of a project. An overview of a simulation project is given before discussing in more detail the four main phases of a project: problem definition, model building and testing, experimentation and project completion.
