The goal of any simulation effort should be to correctly assess those factors that have an influence on system operation and design and to support decisions regarding the facilities and policies that will control the process. As such, a simulation effort must be considered unsuccessful and non cost-effective if no decisions are influenced by the analysis performed. For this reason, implementation (using the results of the analysis to support decisions) must be treated as the most critical step of the simulation modeling process. While model accuracy, its validity for the problem under study, and the timeliness of the information provided are all essential elements of a successful study, priority must be given to the implementation. 'o enhance the probability of implementation a modeler should: Recognize that implementation is the overriding goal of the effort, Define a problem solving objective that is achievable within the decision making time frame, and Involve decision makers and concerned parties in the modeling and analysis effort.
