Simulation Competition

Computer-based simulation is one of the most powerful tools available today to support problem solving and analyze complex systems. The IEOM Student Simulation Competition is an international simulation competition hosted by the Industrial Engineering and Operations Management Society that provides students with an opportunity to demonstrate their problem-solving, presentation, and discrete-event simulation modeling and analysis skills.

Awards:

• All team members that submit a project will receive a Certification of Participation.
• Teams will continue the competition at the IEOM International Conference.  The finalists will be ranked in terms of their excellence in simulation modeling and analysis and the overall quality of their project.

Criteria:

The work of the participating teams will be evaluated based on:

• Model quality and validity (30%)
• Problem solving approach and quality of the analysis (30%)
• Creativity and cost effectiveness of the proposed solution (30%)
• Aesthetics of the model and submission (10%)
