Business Simulation Coursework

The Coursework Tasks For this piece of individual coursework, you are required to apply simulation modelling to deliver the tasks below: Task 1- Provide an Introduction to the problem including: problem brief, main aim, objectives, tools and techniques, and key performance indicators. Task 2- Use the tabular form to define and analyse the security-checking problem. This analysis includes decomposing the system being investigated into its main components including: entities, attributes, activities, state variables, and events. Task 3- An appropriate flowchart with detailed explanations. Task 4- Obtain the best fit of patient inter-arrival times using the Input-Analyser tool. Task 5- Develop a business simulation model to imitate the above security check system (“As-Is” situation). Five simulation runs are required, at least two experiments (scenarios) to: i. Reduce the overall simulation time. ii. Achieve a reduced queue at each service facility. iii. Increase the resource(s)/ service facility(s) utilisations. iv. Reduce average waiting time. A comparison via Excel diagrams of the “As-Is” scenario with any other improvement scenarios “What-If” is required. Task 6- Conclusion and Recommendations for further improvement (bullet points) Notes: • This assignment has to be completed as an individual project. • You will need to adopt the report structure provided below, use examples and cases from text books, journals, papers and reports to support your arguments and reference properly, using CU Harvard Reference Style ([login to view URL] CU Harvard Reference Style) • The structure of the report (the outlines below have to be linked with the coursework tasks above): - Title page (To include report title) - Table of contents - Introduction - The main body of the Report including o Problem Definition o Problem Analysis o The logical diagram (flowchart) including why this flowchart, the flowchart diagram and explanation. o The Distribution fitting, reason behind this fitting, the best fit, all comparison, and explanation. o Simulation Modelling  Description of the “As-Is” model  Snapshot  Excel results of each KPI  Analysis and discussion  Description of each “What-If” scenario  Snapshot  Excel results of each KPI  Analysis and discussion  Overall Excel chart comparisons between “As-Is” and “What-If” Scenarios o Conclusion o Bibliography/References o Appendices (if found)
