Abstract :
One of the key goals for a simulation model is to accurately replicate the real system under consideration. A protocol is proposed to add credibility to the outputs of a simulation, using a double-blind method. Experimental design is outlined to maximize the value of the information obtained. Finally, experiences implementing the method for a large-scale biotech manufacturing facility are discussed.
