Pengertian Simulasi (Simulation)
Simulation: a descriptive technique that enables a
decision maker to evaluate the behavior of a model
under various conditions.
•Simulation models complex situations
•Models are simple to use and understand
•Models can play “what if” experiments
•Extensive software packages available
Bina Nusantara
Simulation Process
1. Identify the problem
2. Develop the simulation model
3. Test the model
4. Develop the experiments
5. Run the simulation and evaluate results
6. Repeat 4 and 5 until results are satisfactory

Monte Carlo Simulation
Monte Carlo method: Probabilistic simulation technique used
when a process has a random component
• Identify a probability
distribution
• Setup intervals of
random numbers to
match probability distribution
• Obtain the random numbers
• Interpret the results

Simulating Distributions
• Poisson
–
Mean of distribution is required
• Normal
–
Need to know the mean and standard deviation

Advantages of Simulation
• Solves problems that are difficult or impossible to
solve mathematically
• Allows experimentation without risk to actual system
• Compresses time to
show long-term effects
• Serves as training tool
for decision makers
Bina Nusantara
Limitations of Simulation
• Does not produce optimum solution
• Model development may be difficult
• Computer run time may be substantial
• Monte Carlo simulation only applicable to random
systems
