Designing simulation experiments

Simulation models provide relatively fast and inexpensive estimates of the performance of alternative system configurations and/or alternative operating procedures. This tutorial provides some techniques for planning a set of simulation model runs, in order to gain insight on system behavior. There is an emphasis on graphical methods for planning the experiment and displaying the results.
