Simulation project management

Two day intensive course which takes a trained simulation practitioner (in any tool) through the process of successfully managing a simulation project from initial scoping of the project, data acquisition and analysis through to an understanding of professional analysis techniques, ensuring that not only are the models created in a cost effective and timely manner but also that the interpretation of results is achieved correctly and communicated to the project team and wider community successfully. Successful application of this process will ensure that the models created not only fulfill their initial requirement but also if the models are required for use in the future the cost of ongoing maintenance can be reduced.
