Simulation is a powerful tool for the evaluation and analysis of new system designs, modifications to existing systems and proposed changes to control systems and operating rules. Conducting a valid simulation is both an art and a science. This paper provides an introduction to discrete-event simulation and the main concepts - system state, events, processes - underlying simulation. It discusses the major world views used by simulation software. It includes a brief discussion of a number of other important issues: the advantages and disadvantages of using a simulation model, the skills required to develop a simulation model, the key steps in conducting a simulation study, as well as some project management guidelines and pitfalls to avoid.
