Life-cycle of simulation models: requirements and case studies in the automotive industry
Gottfried Mayer, Sven Spieckermann · Journal of Simulation · 2010
There is a tendency to maintain and use some simulation models, once implemented, over a period of several years. This article discusses a couple of reasons for the increasing long-term use of models. Two cases from the German car manufacturer BMW Group are presented to illustrate the particular technological and organizational challenges related to the application of simulation models for almost a decade.
