Supply and Demand Simulation Timothy J. Vrabel Axia College University of Phoenix In the video‚ several principles and concepts of microeconomics and macroeconomics were simulated. In the simulated neighborhood of Atlantis‚ there are many amenities that customers demand. The simulation uses two bedroom apartments to teach the fundamentals of supply and demand. Several scenarios were used throughout the simulation to represent challenges with which management needed to contend. The scenarios

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

Simulation of the Coiling of a polymer strand Tsvetoslav Pavlov Department of Materials‚ Imperial College London‚ United Kingdom 27th Feb 2012 1. Abstract This study will examine the temperature dependence of internal energy‚ heat capacity and R2 value (representative of the end to end distance) using a Langevin Dynamics simulation. It will also consider the dependence of the internal energy‚ heat capacity and R2 value with increasing polymer chain length. Internal energy has been found

HRM Simulation Final Report Absenteeism Our goal for absenteeism was to decrease it from 498 to 120 by quarter 8 by maintaining high morale and offering health benefits to keep employees healthy. We also planned to keep our accident rate low in order to reduce absenteeism. We decided to focus the fringe benefits we offered on health benefits. We thought this strategy would work because we felt that absenteeism was caused by three factors: employee sick days (health)‚ employee injury claims (accident

John Jones a Production Manager at A. C. Gilbert‚ has developed an idea for improving Efficiencies in the manufacturing process at A. C. Gilbert. The idea came as a result of the innovative ideas program‚ and John has successfully trailed the program on one line in the processing plant. The program has been evaluated and found to be successful‚ and now in the process of implementing the program company-wide.

Operations 202 Little Field Simulation Report Little Field Simulation Game is mainly about the inventory management and optimization problems which are occurring in a factory. Since the last report‚ we tried to generate more profit and took some actions to beat our competitors in market. Firstly‚ we examined our demand and completed job counts to check our productive capacity and inventory. It demonstrated that we were producing faster than our capacity and market had increasing level. Therefore;

Introduction This paper will walk through the simulation project experience‚ discuss lessons learned and key take ways from the project. The project simulation was designed to challenge project managers in a life like simulation of project management. It challenges a Project Manager to take over and manage an existing project within a global company. The simulation ran the project manager through the full life cycle of a project. It began with identifying all project stakeholders and project
