PHASE 1:

Problem definition: Determine the problem to be simulated.

Setting of objectives and project planning: Determine the goal to simulate to answer? and the plan to implement the simulation project.

Creation of conceptual model: The drafting of the simulation model includes components, parameters in the system and the right prize evaluation methods.

PHASE 2:

Model building: Model building (using a flow chart or drawing)

Data collection: Collect input data

Coding: Set up the simulation model on the computer.

Verified?: Verify the modeling on the computer is accurate and does not generate errors.

Validated?: Verify the model with the input properly.

PHASE 3:

Experimental design: Determine the correlation between changing input data and output data results. Also consider other influential factors.

Production runs and analysis: Run the simulation and results analysis.

PHASE 4:

More runs?: Should I run multiple times?

PHASE 5:

Document programs and report results: Create simulation profiles and write reports.

PHASE 6:

Implementation: Implement proven solutions in practice..
