Sample size determination in logistics simulations

Sample size determination in logistics simulations Although logistics research contains numerous applications of computer simulation modelling, logistics literature has outlined no standard procedure for determining the appropriate sample size when employing simulation methodology in logistics research. Addresses this deficiency by considering the issue of sample size determination in logistics simulation models. Describes a technique for determining the sample size required to achieve the desired level of relative precision in logistics simulation models. In addition, provides an example of the application of this sample size determination technique to a logistics simulation. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png International Journal of Physical Distribution & Logistics Management Emerald Publishing

Abstract

Although logistics research contains numerous applications of computer simulation modelling, logistics literature has outlined no standard procedure for determining the appropriate sample size when employing simulation methodology in logistics research. Addresses this deficiency by considering the issue of sample size determination in logistics simulation models. Describes a technique for determining the sample size required to achieve the desired level of relative precision in logistics simulation models. In addition, provides an example of the application of this sample size determination technique to a logistics simulation.
