TY - JOUR AU - Lehaney, Brian AB - Provides an introduction to simulation, and discusses the use of amodern simulation environment. Examples of the uses of simulation arequeuing, scheduling and stock control. Simulation environments are nowfar more userfriendly, and software is more competitively priced, thanever before. The manager can play a major role in modelbuilding byusing icondriven simulation tools, which enable a system to bedrawn on the screen, and which help to reduce the gapbetween manager and modeller. The gap is even further reduced if themanager understands something of simulation terminology and methods.Simulation is a tool which can aid managers in policy making anddecision making.
