Discrete Event Simulation, System Dynamics and Agent Based Simulation: Discussion and Comparison
نویسنده
چکیده
Simulation modelling is an important instrument in Operational Research for a number of reasons. It provides a valuable tool for approximating real life behaviour and hence can be used for testing scenarios. Also the art of constructing the model itself may lead the modeller to greater understanding of the real system. When it comes to simulation there are three main methods in use, this paper will look at these three: Discrete Event Simulation, System Dynamics and Agent Based Simulation. Firstly basic definitions of the methods will be given and then comparisons between them will be discussed.

Surgical suits allocate a large amount of expenses to hospitals; on the other hand, they constitute a huge part of hospital revenues. Patient flow optimization in a surgical suite by omitting or reducing bottlenecks which cause loss of time is one of the key solutions in minimizing the patients’ length of stay[1] (LOS) in the system, lowering the expenses, increasing efficiency, and also enhanc...
