Abstract

The shortcomings of simulation as applied to plant operations are attributed to a lack of understanding of operating problems by the analyst and to a lack of understanding by operating personnel of the limitations of simulation. It is asserted that exploring the untapped potential of simulation as a research tool as well as an analytic tool should lead to more effective analysis of plant operations.
