…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….7 Project Statement Starbucks is the largest coffee house company in the world. They have over 16‚000 stores in over 50 countries. We have one of their outlets in our university. We chose to carry out our simulation project on this particular store because it would be ideal to study a system which has a queue at any time during its working hours. It would also help the company in serving their customers more efficiently and quickly‚ as many have limited time

The Atlantis simulation shows the platform of supply and demand in a real estate/rental market. This simulation shows what causes the fluctuations in supply and demand from the need to increase occupancy rate to an influx of new residents due to growth within the local economy. These factors are direct implications of the constant changes happening to supply and demand within the Atlantis community. When occupancy is low it shows there is an increased supply of apartments available to rent. When
