Popis: Simulation documentation for management is the written report that describes what a simulation does. It acts as a communications medium between the simulation modeller and the recipient of the report.The major problem with most management reports is the level of difficulty that reader faces. Wading through paragraph after paragraph of turgid prose makes a management report difficult to read.This problem can be overcome by careful attention to the rules of good technical writing. It is best handled by a documentation specialist rather than the simulation modeller, because the skills required for clear documentation are different from the skills required to design and program a simulation.Management oriented documentation is oriented toward the presentation of conclusions and recommendations. It will add about 10% to the cost of a simulation project. But without good documentation the project may be wasted.
