I Figure 10-1: Network Simulation Simulation Build a model, study its implications More economical to simulate network alternatives than to build several networks and see which one is best Purposes Compare alternatives to select the best one Sensitivity analysis to see what will happen if the values of variables were varied over a range Anticipating bottlenecks because procurement cycles are long in business, so problems must be anticipated well ahead of time
