SIMULATION MODEL FOR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT ABSTRACT The paper presents a comprehensive research study on the Simulation Model for Emergency Department. The study was conducted in the Emergency Department (ED) at The Ohio State Medical Center. A simulation model was developed using Arena (7.0) to model the process flow of patients in order to analyze the ED System performance. A Statistical Design of Experiments study was performed to study the significance/ non significance

Business Process Simulation Revisited Wil M.P. van der Aalst Department of Mathematics and Computer Science‚ Eindhoven University of Technology‚ P.O. Box 513‚ NL-5600 MB‚ The Netherlands w.m.p.v.d.aalst@tue.nl Abstract. Computer simulation attempts to “mimic” real-life or hypothetical behavior on a computer to see how processes or systems can be improved and to predict their performance under different circumstances. Simulation has been successfully applied in many disciplines and is considered

In our Business Connections class‚ we used a simulation called “Biz Café”. This simulation activity took place in groups of three or four over the span of the semester. The simulation was a coffee house that the group made decisions on. Every week the group makes decisions regarding what should happen at the coffee house‚ i.e. hire/firing employees‚ wages‚ insurance‚ marketing‚ etc. Three days later the results of these decisions are posted and the group sees the results of the decisions they made
