Simulating business processes for descriptive, predictive and prescriptive analytics [electronic resource] / Andrew Greasley.

This book outlines the benefits and limitations of simulation, what is involved in setting up a simulation capability in an organization, the steps involved in developing a simulation model and how to ensure model results are implemented. In addition, detailed example applications are provided to sh...
