Abstract
The versatility and popularity of discrete simulation makes simulation modeling a very powerful and, sometimes, dangerous tool. Discrete simulation is powerful because it can be used to model a wide diversity of situations, and it may be dangerous because its relative simplicity may lead to misuse and misinterpretation of results. However, with good training in the use of simulation and careful statistical analysis, discrete simulation can be used for great benefit.
