Model-based Systems Analysis Using CSIM18

Achieving the best possible cost performance for a system is often the goal of the manager of that system. This is true for large systems (such as an entire railroad system) as well as for small systems (such as a computerized departmental transaction processing system). One technique for achieving this management goal is to develop and use an operational model of the system. This paper describes model-based systems analysis using simulation models of systems. This technique for finding and addressing performance related problems is widely used in a variety of industries. In many cases, the resulting improvements in cost-performance characteristics for the system can be significant.
