The paper addresses the question in the title via a survey of experienced healthcare
modellers and an extensive literature review. It has two objectives. 1. To compare the …

We present discrete-event simulation models of the operations of primary health centers
(PHCs) in the Indian context. Our PHC simulation models incorporate four types of patients …

Abstract Canadian Blood Services produces and distributes approximately 850,000 units of
red cells annually. These units are distributed through ten production and/or distribution …

In an organization operating in the bancassurance sector we identified a low-risk IT
subportfolio of 84 IT projects comprising together 16,500 function points, each project …

Background: The rapid and resource-intensive nature of acute ischemic stroke (AIS)
treatment demands ongoing optimization. Simulation modeling offers an effective approach …

Simulation modeling and analysis requires skills and scientific background to be
implemented. This is vital for this powerful methodology to deliver value to the company …

A discrete-event simulation (DES) of the network of primary health centers (PHCs) in a
region can be used to evaluate the effect of changes in patient flow on operational outcomes …

Although simulation is one of the most innovative and cost-effective tools for modeling and
analyzing a system, simulation studies often fail to provide any useful results. One reason is …

The tracking of products trajectories involves major challenges in simulation generation and
adaptation. Positioning techniques and technologies have become available and affordable …
