Learning From Behavioral Modeling, and Simulation of Business Policy, (What the Experienced Modeler Learns) (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Learn how computer models illuminate how real-world business policy works.
This book uses a famous behavioral simulation to show how sales, production, and planning interact in modern manufacturing.
The discussion focuses on how simulations reveal the forces that shape demand, backlog, and scheduling. It explains concepts like reference planned orders, slot planning, and the trade-offs between expediting and sticking to a plan. The material stays practical, tying modeling choices to what managers actually experience in factories.- How a simulation helps identify where assumptions may mislead the story of a policy.
- What backlog and demand suppression look like in a production system.
- Different ways to define and use planned orders to guide production.
- How expediting, scheduling, and plan adjustments interact over time.

Learning From Behavioral Modeling, and Simulation of Business Policy
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the field of business policy and strategy through an analysis of behavioral modeling and simulation. It explores how a modeler's understandings develop as they delve deeper into a subject matter. The author presents their findings in a unique way - by dividing the learning process into three distinct phases, each with its own set of insights and revelations. The book starts with a descriptive survey of business structures and policies, then progresses to examining policy functions through equation writing and structural diagrams. Finally, the author delves into computer modeling and simulation and shares the insights that can only be gleaned through such methods. At its heart, this book is about the power of modeling and simulation to enhance our understanding of complex systems like business policies and strategies. The author effectively demonstrates how these techniques can help us to visualize dynamic behavior and explain it in precise, logical terms. While the book has a particular emphasis on business applications, its insights are applicable to a wide range of disciplines and fields. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
