2003. “A Framework for Business Process Simulation: The Grab and Glue Approach

Discrete event simulation modelling framework, grab and glue simulation Simulation modelling is a powerful tool for problem understanding and problem solving. Constructing simulation models following the classical simulation modelling framework has disadvantage of being time consuming, hence making it expensive. Users can sometimes be reluctant to use simulation due to these reasons or implement simulation results. This paper proposes a new simulation approach that tackles the problem of time. For this purpose, this paper will start by reviewing a number of existing simulation modelling frameworks. From this analysis, we attempt to develop a simulation framework that deals with the question of time. The proposed simulation framework is supposed to enhance simulation results and reduce disadvantages related to cost and time
