Case Study: Input and Output for a Courier Service Model

Submitted: 28 Aug 2009

Operations Research Topics: SimulationModelling

Application Areas: Logistics

Problem Description

This case study is an extension of the Modelling Requests to a Courier Service case study. It examines way to determine the inputs for the simulation model and also how to analyse the outputs from the simulation.

Before starting this case study you will need to complete the Modelling Requests to a Courier Service case study.
