In the literature review we explain the modeling process first before discussing different methods of simulation and modelling and interpreting the methods in enterprise-wide modeling. I. Modelling Process: The powerful technique, which allows researchers from diverse backgrounds to analyze and study complex phenomena is Modelling. In general model is ‘A (small) finite description of an infinitely complex reality, constructed for the purpose of answering particular questions’ (Kuipers 1994). Even though in each scientific discipline the steps taken in the modeling process differs the general method modelling follows is: Step 1: Model Identification – this step aims at identifying the study objectives and the best method for modelling a particular event. Also this step involves defining the model boundaries which is identifying key variables and requirement of the scope, time frame and reference mode of the model. Step 2: Model Building – aims at representing the real world influences between the variables of interest in an suitable layout. This may be applied using a quantitative approach such defining a system of simultaneous Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) or linear programming or a qualitative approach such as a structural dependency representation using causal diagrams. There are other hybrid methods which can be adopted, which combine quantitative and qualitative techniques. Step 3: Model Analysis and Interpretation – which gives the derivation of results for the mathematical equations and/or simulation of the relationships between variables, which in turn gives the solution for the particular research questions or criteria which have been set in the beginning of the process. It may take additional steps such as model... ... middle of paper ... ...ween model variables are not explicitly defined and thus may not be easy to analyse. 3. Other Hybrid Approaches: Various hybrid approaches are macroeconomic model (IMEM) by Chen and Sun (2000) which combines quantitative and qualitative reasoning method to model the economy, fuzzy cognitive maps (a combination of fuzzy logic and neural networks) by Stylios and Groumpos (1998) which explained the method of modelling a two tier manufacturing control system, and the explanation of application of mixed qualitative/quantitative modelling approaches merging principal component analysis, along with clustered fuzzy diagraphs and reasoning to the modelling of a continuous stirred tank reactor and a distillation column by Yadegar and Pishvaie (2005). A utility cost function, which can be used to estimate the correctness of alternative modelling techniques, is also suggested.

The aim of this paper is to cover how each area of the simulation relates to what we have discussed in the class. We are going to discuss target market, 4p’s of marketing, performance metrics and research data.
In conclusion table 10-1 on page 292 list the three types of models. These models provide
Develop and describe a technology lifecycle model (including the time and cost of development, the amount of time to recover the cost, and return on investment (profit) based on the development costs and risks) and/or product lifecycle model (including timing, marketing measures, and costs associated with the life of a product) for the new technology or application
The project approach utilized the 3NA process and analysis of data by using the PDCA methodology.
It is a step of defining the goals of the projects and the results are aimed at reaching certain levels of productivity of customer satisfaction. The second stage is measure, and it is the stage of collecting data and facts and evaluating current operational performance. The third stage is analyze with the purpose of developing methods and theories that will best suit the solving of the problem; it is also a stage of detecting cause-and-effect ties of the processes. The fourth stage is improve, it is aimed at generating ideas for reaching the desired process improvement. Finally, there is the control stage that is about monitoring the operations to find out whether the process of improvement is smooth and the problems were solved (Meredith & Shafer,

This model involves task, technological, structure, and finally human variables. This model is primarily used to evaluate how manipulating a single factor will affect the other three. It is typically used in analysis concerning organizational structure and human resources. The main benefit of using this model is that it is simple to use, however this can also serve as a weakness as it doesn’t provide direct causal statements relating to variables.
The Business Model canvas also helps entrepreneurs, employees and customers to comprehend how the organization puts into use and integrate its various components. By doing so, it enables the facilitating of communication with the players mentioned. This makes the starting point of a great discussion on the available business opportunities, how these activities can be made to bring out the mission and vision of the business, and in the identification of risk and failures in the future (Chesbrough, 2005). This model also helps the entrepreneur to consider various elements of the business both in part and also as a whole. This helps in the concentration on various components of a business, while ignoring other parts for in-depth analysis which enables the evaluation of the risk that may arise due to the inclusion of a certain component of a business without thorough consideration (Magretta,
From this case study the analyses are made on the following questions asked. The Questions that are asked are following:
There are hypotheses or questions that the researcher wants to address which includes predictions about the possible relationship between two they are investigating (variables). However, in order to find answers to these questions, the researcher will have different instruments and materials, paper/complete tests and observation

The lights, the camera's, the designer clothes, and the beautiful models, all of these are contributing pieces of a runway fashion show. But the models who are strutting down the runway, showing off high standard fashion clothes, are not the only models that are out there. There are many types of models that work in this line of business. There are commercial models, catalog models, plus size models, parts models, and so many more. All models have something in common though, they all live a challenging life. Although many believe that being famous, or on the cover of top rated magazines will make you happy and feel fulfilled, living that form of life can create a feeling of having no privacy. There are many perks however, in working as a model. For example, if working as a runway model, it is not unheard of to have a salary of five hundred dollars per hour. That high of a salary is mainly only given if it is a very large name show. Catalog models can receive one hundred dollars to two hundred or more. The amount of an hourly salary is dependent upon the popularity of the company or brand being modeled and if the model has a good reputation. The life of a model is very busy and includes a multitude of challenges that the model needs to be ready for.
Following the next chapter describes the research methodology. This methodology divided into five stage process followed by main objective; theoretical study, model development, design prototype, develop prototype and model evaluate. Each stage will be briefly described in the next chapter.
There are numerous elements which impact the execution of the workers work a portion of the variables our as emulated
