The process of determining that a computer program implements a simulation model as it is intended is known as
a. validation.
b. verification.
c. correlation.
d. optimization.

Question 2

Analytic Solver Platform (ASP) cannot guarantee an optimal solution to a simulation optimization model because
a. the optimization problem will have only one local optimal solution due to the linear relationship.
b. of sampling error resulting from nonlinear relationships.
c. it is not possible to compare solutions across runs.
d. of sampling error resulting from the presence of the random variables.

Answer to Question 1

b
RATIONALE: The process of determining that a computer program implements a simulation model as it is intended is known as verification.

Answer to Question 2

d
RATIONALE: ASP cannot guarantee an optimal solution to a simulation optimization model because of sampling error resulting from the simulation trials and because the optimization problem may have multiple local optimal solutions due to nonlinear relationships. Therefore, it is helpful to solve the model multiple times and compare the solutions across runs.
