Simulation run statistics

05 marks

How do you use simulation run statistics in the output analysis? Explain. [5]

Simulation run statistics are numerical measures collected during and after a simulation execution that quantify the performance of the system being modeled. In output analysis, these statistics serve as the primary data for evaluating whether the simulatio...

Utilization measurement

05 marks

How to measure utilization and occupancy in simulation justify with any real-world problem. [5]

Utilization measures the proportion of time a resource (server, machine, person) is actively in use during simulation. Occupancy measures the number of entities present in a system or queue at any given time. Both metrics are critical for evaluating system ...
