Using simulation to reduce out-patient waiting time: A case study at Jitra Health Center

Simulation is the act of reproducing the behavior of a system using a model that describes the operations of the system. Once the model has been developed, the analyst can manipulate certain variables to measure the effects of changes on the operating characteristics of interest. This project will p...
