The Ten Commandments for Translating Simulation Results Into Real-life Performance

Accenture, the Netherlands Technical University Delft, the Netherlands, i.wenzler{at}tbm.tudelft.nl

Simulation designers are continuously facing the challenge of determining how much of the expected value the simulation has delivered to the client. Addressing this challenge is not easy, and it requires simulation designers to stretch their comfort zones. This article presents a ten-step approach for meeting simulation objectives and translating simulation results into actual performance improvement. Each of these ten commandments is explained and illustrated by using real-life simulation projects.

Key Words: commandments • learning • performance • performance improvement • simulation design • simulation impact • simulation objectives • simulation results • simulation value
