Hospital and medical clinic models can be simulated to determine the number of rooms, nurses, and
physicians for a particular location. Retail stores may need to know how many checkout locations to
utilize. Entertainment facilities such as multitheater movie complexes may be interested in how many
ticket sellers, ticket checkers, or concession stand clerks to employ. Information technology models
typically involve how many and what type of network or support resources to have available. Customer
order systems may need to know how many customer order representatives are needed to be on duty.
Examples of transportation systems include:
• Airport operations
• Port shipping operations
• Train and bus transportation
• Distribution and logistics

Airport operations simulations have been performed on airport security checkpoints, check-in counters,
and gate assignments. Port shipping operations can include how many cranes and trucks are needed to
offload transportation ships. Train and bus transportation can include analysis involving routes. Distribution
and logistics studies have included the analysis of shipping center design and location.
