Analytical Methods & Quantitative Decision Support
Probability, expected value, variance and covariance help describe uncertain demand, failures and schedule exposure. Event-arrival models, state-transition models and queueing relationships connect operating variability with staffing, availability, cycle time and work in process. Scenario analysis makes the consequences of assumptions visible before a commitment is made.
