Simulation modeling can be valuable in many areas of management science, but is often costly, time-consuming and … difficult to do. This paper describes a new approach to simulation that has the potential to be much cheaper, faster and easier … can create simulation models by moving actual physical objects around on a special table called a Sensetable. The paper …

This contribution discusses experiments with many factors: the case study includes a simulation model with 92 factors …/output behavior of the simulation model can be approximated through a first-order polynomial possibly augmented with two …-factor interactions. The method is explained and illustrated through three related discrete-event simulation models. These models …
