The study is then constructed using the following individual modelling steps:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"disc\" >\n<li>Data Gathering and Analysis<\/li>\n<li>Model Development<\/li>\n<li>Animation Development<\/li>\n<li>Model Validation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n<\/li><li  id=\"ModelUsage\">\nDuring the usage phase, Optsim will first undertake a thorough analysis of a likely option usually referred to as the base case. The results of the base case simulations provide significant insight into the overall system. A sensitivity analysis is then performed on a select group of input variables to assess the validity of the model. A scenario analysis is performed on the options being considered. This process may be performed on a multiple number of base cases if desired. Finally, the results along with all components of the study, are presented in both report form and in presentation form.\n<\/li><li  id=\"ProjectManagement\">\nOptsim\u2019s project management methodology is to conduct the simulation modelling study within a framework that incorporates the following project management points:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"disc\" >\n<li>Project Planning<\/li>\n<li>Project Time and Cost Management<\/li>\n<li>Project Resource Management<\/li>\n<li>Quality Management<\/li>\n<li>Project Risk Management<\/li>\n<li>Project Monitoring and Control<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n<\/li>\n\t\t\t <\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1><\/h1>\n<h1><\/h1>\n<h1><\/h1>\n<h1><\/h1>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Methodolgy Optsim uses a four-phased methodology framework when undertaking simulation modelling or optimisation studies.
