Abstract :
The proper statistical design and analysis of simulation experiments is considered. A state-of-the-art and a practical discussion of this subject in the context of manufacturing systems is given. The article is based on the existing simulation literature as well as on experience in applying these techniques in numerous manufacturing projects. Types of. simulations with regard to output analysis are discussed, as well as measures of performance or parameters for each type. It is shown how to obtain a point estimator and confidence interval for each type of parameter
