Important Steps in Simulation and Model Building
3. involve the end-user
- Does anyone believe the results?
- Will anyone put the results into action?
- The end-user (your customer) can (and must) do all of the above

4. choose the appropriate simulation tools
3 alternatives exist:
- build model in a general purpose language
- build model in a general simulation language
- use a special purpose simulation package
