Simulation and Monte Carlo Analysis
Instructor:
Daniel O Leary
Product ID: 704856
- Duration: 90 Min
Bonus Material:
An Excel spreadsheet with the examples from the presentation
Why Should You Attend:
Simulation is a powerful tool to help understand production process, projects and quality assurance activities. Monte Carlo simulation uses random numbers from statistical distributions to help model the activities of interest.
Microsoft Excel, with its built-in functions, allows generation of random numbers from a variety of statistical distributions. These results combined in a simulation can help in understanding processes and activities. This is especially true when the model is difficult or impossible to calculate using analytical methods.
The presentation explains some concepts of statistical distributions needed to generate random numbers. It then explains the methods in Excel, using a random number generator and various inverse functions to illustrate the methods. Example illustrate the methods so participants can see the application and the results. The examples also explain how to construct Excel spreadsheets for simulations.
