Benihana Simulation Analysis Harvard Business Publishing has created a computer simulation to replicate the operations management decisions facing Benihana. Benihana is a teppanyaki style restaurant franchise that focuses on bringing a theatrical dinning experience to its patrons. The layout of the restaurant consists of two seating areas: the bar and the dining area. The goal of this simulation is to maximize utilization‚ throughput time and the nightly profit using different batching‚ bar sizing

IS HIGH FIDELITY FLIGHT SIMULATION NECESSARY FOR AIRLINE PILOT TRAINING? Abstract One of the difficulties when objectivity looking into defining the levels of fidelity required in training simulations is that simulators are frequently seen as replacements for training that previously would have been conducted on the real equipment. The perception therefore is that the simulation should be as close as possible to the “real deal” in order to successfully replace it. However‚ the genuine advantage

COMPUTER- AIDED DECISIONS “COMPUTER SIMULATION OF HUMAN THOUGHT” What is Computer Simulation? A computer simulation or a computer model is a computer program that attempts to simulate an abstract model of a particular system. Computer simulations have become a useful part of mathematical modeling of many natural systems in physics‚ chemistry and biology‚ human systems in economics‚ psychology‚ and social science and in the process of engineering new technology‚ to gain insight into

What have you learned Business simulation is simulation used for business training or analysis. Most business simulations are used for business acumen training and development. Learning objectives include: strategic thinking‚ financial analysis‚ market analysis‚ operations‚ teamwork and leadership. The business gaming community seems lately to have adopted the term business simulation game instead of just gaming or just simulation. The word simulation is sometimes considered too mechanistic
