The Coursework Tasks

The Coursework Tasks For this piece of individual coursework, you are required to apply simulation modelling to deliver the tasks below: Task 1- Provide an Introduction to the problem including: problem brief, main aim, objectives, tools and techniques, and key performance indicators. Task 2- Use the tabular form to define and analyse the NHS organisation problem. This analysis includes decomposing the system being investigated into its main components including: entities, attributes, activities, state variables, and events. Task 3- An appropriate flowchart with detailed explanations. Task 4- Obtain the best fit of patient inter-arrival times using the Input-Analyser tool. Task 5- Develop a business simulation model to imitate the above security check system (“As-Is” situation). Five simulation runs are required, at least two experiments (scenarios) to: i.    Reduce the overall simulation time. ii.    Achieve a reduced queue at each service facility. iii.    Increase the resource(s)/ service facility(s) utilisations. iv.    Reduce average waiting time. A comparison via Excel diagrams of the “As-Is” scenario with any other improvement scenarios “What-If” is required. Task 6- Conclusion and Recommendations for further improvement (bullet points) Notes: •    This assignment has to be completed as an individual project. •    You will need to adopt the report structure provided below, use examples and cases from text books, journals, papers and reports to support your arguments and reference properly. •    The structure of the report (the outlines below have to be linked with the coursework tasks above): -    Title page (To include report title) -    Table of contents -    Introduction -    The main body of the Report including o    Problem Definition o    Problem Analysis o    The logical diagram (flowchart) including why this flowchart, the flowchart diagram and explanation. o    The Distribution fitting, reason behind this fitting, the best fit, all comparison, and explanation. o    Simulation Modelling ?    Description of the “As-Is” model ?    Snapshot ?    Excel results of each KPI ?    Analysis and discussion ?    Description of each “What-If” scenario ?    Snapshot ?    Excel results of each KPI ?    Analysis and discussion ?    Overall Excel chart comparisons between “As-Is” and “What-If” Scenarios o    Conclusion o    Bibliography/References o    Appendices (if found)
