ABSTRACT

This introductory tutorial provides an overview of business process simulation, describes the modeling and analysis considerations, and lists typical model input, simulation and output requirements. A classification of simulation software products is provided to aid the user in understanding the business process simulation tools. Finally, a simulation exercise is presented to illustrate the power and suitability of simulation for analyzing a business process.
