摘要:

通常,用于理解管理实践对零售业绩的影响的模型是在稳定、均衡和线性的假设下开发的,而零售业务在现实中被认为是动态的、非线性的和复杂的。另外,离散事件和基于代理的建模方法允许开发异质非平衡系统的模拟模型,以测试不同的情景。在开发仿真模型时,必须从现实世界中抽象和简化,这意味着必须尝试捕捉系统的“本质”,以开发驱动真实系统进展的机制的表示。仿真模型可以在不同的抽象层次上开发。了解特定应用程序的适当抽象级别通常更像是一门艺术,而不是一门科学。我们已经开发了一个零售分支机构的模拟模型,以调查模型的准确性水平是需要这样一个模型,以获得有意义的结果,从业者。

英文摘要:

Often models for understanding the impact of management practices on retail performance are developed under the assumption of stability, equilibrium and linearity, whereas retail operations are considered in reality to be dynamic, non-linear and complex. Alternatively, discrete event and agent-based modelling are approaches that allow the development of simulation models of heterogeneous non-equilibrium systems for testing out different scenarios. When developing simulation models one has to abstract and simplify from the real world, which means that one has to try and capture the 'essence' of the system required for developing a representation of the mechanisms that drive the progression in the real system. Simulation models can be developed at different levels of abstraction. To know the appropriate level of abstraction for a specific application is often more of an art than a science. We have developed a retail branch simulation model to investigate which level of model accuracy is required for such a model to obtain meaningful results for practitioners.
