Abstract

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The key objective is to present the generic building blocks of a methodology that can be used to model stochastic continuous systems efficiently. The original simulation model of a real-world system is used as the basis for the development of a generic modelling methodology. The generic building blocks of the methodology are used to construct two new simulation models using two different simulation software packages (Arena and Simul8). The evaluation method, the determination of adequate sample sizes and the verification and validation of the models are discussed. The models and software packages are compared and conclusions are presented.
