Abstract :
So you have built and validated a simulation model - how are you going to gain insight about the associated real system in order to make decisions? This introductory tutorial gives an overview of experiment design techniques for planning a series of simulation runs. These techniques make efficient use of simulation runs to uncover the impact of system design parameters on simulation output performance. The tutorial highlights graphical methods for planning the experiment and displaying the results.
