4. Experimentation

4.1 Initialisation

The model is treated as non-terminating i.e. the model starts from empty. No warm-up period is used in this example.

4.2 Run length

The time units used in the model are minutes and a run length of 1000 minutes is used.

4.3 Estimation approach

Multiple independent replications are employed to account for stochasticty. Common random numbers are not employed between scenarios. The number of replications can be varied, but a total of 5 replications are run for each experiment by default.
