Whataresomecharacteristicsof simulationmodels?- Correct answer-1. Discrete(vs. continuous)
2. Stochastic(vs. deterministic)
3. Dynamic(vs. static)
What is simulation?- Correct answer-Simulationis theimitationof a real-worldprocessof systemovertime.
Simulationinvolvesthegenerationof an artificialhistoryto drawinferencesconcerningtheoperating
characteristics of the real system that is represented.
Whatis simulationgoodfor? - Correct answer-1. Describe/ analyzerealor conceptualsystembehavior.
2. Ask "whatif" questions.
3. Aid in systemdesignand optimization
4. Can simulatealmostanything
Whatarethereasonsto simulate?- Correct answer-1. Will thesystemaccomplishits goals?
2. Current systemwon'taccomplishits goals,nowwhat?
3. Needincrementalimprovement.
4. Createa specificationor actionplan
5. Solvea problem,like a bottleneck.
6. Resolvedisputes
7. Sell an idea
,4. Use to checkresultsandgivecredibilityto conclusionsobtainedby othermethods.
5. Reducedesignblunders
6. Reallynice demomethod
7. (sometimes)veryeasy
Whatarethedisadvantagesof simulation?- Correct answer-1. Sometimesnot so easy2. Sometimes very
time consuming / costly
3. Simulationsgive"random"output(and lotsof misinterpretationof resultsis possible)
4. To do a certainproblem,bettermethodsthansimulationmayexist
We are interested in modeling the arrival and service process at the local McBurger Queen burger joint.
Customers come in every once in a while, stand in line, eventually get served, and off they go. Generally
speaking, what kind of model are we talking about here? (More than one answer below may be right.)
A) Discrete
B) Continuous
C) Stochastic
D) Deterministic- Correct answer
-(a) (because events such as arrivals and service completionshappen
only
oncein a while,as opposedto continuously);and (c) (becausecustomerarrival times,servicetimes, shift
changes, etc., are all random
).
Which of the followingcan be regardedas advantagesof simulation? (More than one answerbelowmay be
right.)
A) Simulationenablesyouto studymodelstoocomplicatedfor analyticalor numericaltreatment.
B) Simulationscan serveas veryprettydemosthatevenUniversityof Georgiagraduatescan
understand.
C) Simulationcan be usedto studydetailedrelationsthatmight be lost in an analyticalor numerical
treatment.
D) Simulationsareoftentediousand time-consumingto produce.- Correct answer-A) Simulation
, enables you to study models too complicated for analytical or numerical treatment.
