Simulation processes are techniques which are used to estimate, predict and forecast behaviors. These tools and techniques can be extremely helpful and can be used as tools to design, reduce cost and time, improve success and / or reduce risks.
This course is designed to illustrate the use of different techniques that can be used to simulate processes. Some processes are well known and there are many accurate mathematical equations that can help to predict the performance of a process with a fairly high degree of accuracy. We will call these Theoretical Methods.
Unlike the theoretical methods, other processes are not as clear or don’t have mathematical equations that can help predict the behavior of some variables in the process. In these cases we have to use experience or experimentation to develop such equations so we can simulate their behavior. This second method will be called Statistical Method.
This course will concentrate only on the Statistical Method.
