Abstract

Simulation is both popular and powerful, but reportage of simulation case studies indicates that in many cases process is treated cursorily, and end-user-acceptance of final models is not forthcoming. Whilst texts often proclaim the importance of process, this is usually left to the discretion of the modeler, A range of problem structuring (or soft) methodologies have been developed to address process issues. However, these can be both slow and unwieldy. This paper outlines a case which utilises the principles of soft methodologies in a relatively quick and dirty approach to process.
