Simulation

A blend of qualitative and quantitative modelling that incorporates a set of assumptions about relationships among variables in a mathematical algorithm. Simulation can simultaneously model demand and supply, and is very useful for testing the impact of assumptions on the outcome of the model.

Bottlenecks

Points in a process where the flow is impaired or stopped entirely, leading to delays and reduced efficiency.

Times Series Model

A statistical method that analyzes time series data to extract meaningful statistics and characteristics of the data.

Regression Model
