ittlefield Simulation #1: Capacity Management Team: Computronic When the simulation began‚ we quickly determined that there were three primary inputs to focus on: the forecast demand curve (job arrivals‚) machine utilization‚ and queue size prior to each station. Specifically we were looking for upward trends in job arrivals and queue sizes along with utilizations consistently hitting 100%. Upon initial analysis of the first fifty days of operations‚ the team noticed that Station 1 had reached

This report provides an in-depth analysis of the two Everest Simulations conducted by Group 10 of MGMT1001 Thursday Tutorial. This task required students to form teams consisting of five to six members whose goals were to summit Mount Everest. While it provided us with a rich experience in team dynamics and collaboration‚ it also enabled us to explore key managerial concepts taught in the course‚ consisting of: • Communication • Groups and Teams • Leadership In this report‚ we examine the effectiveness
