Describes the techniques of customer surveys, derived forecasts, causal models, time series analysis, Delphi forecasting, scenario analysis, content analysis, impact analysis, groupware, and micro world/computer simulations.

In this paper, we provide a quantitative approach to Frequency Domain Methodology (FDM) using harmonic analysis. For a certain class of metamodels, we give the frequency domain hypothesis and develop the corresponding hypothesis test. Minimum simulation model run length information for FDM is...

Presents a simulation model for studying the availability of an iron‐ore production plant interconnected logistically with a large Integrated Steel Manufacturing System (ISMS). The objective of the simulation experiment is to validate whether there exists adequate capability of the existing...
