Using An INS Simulation to Forecast Manpower Needs

Using An INS Simulation to Forecast Manpower Needs

A simulation language is presented which lends itself to the modeling of library operations. Here a circulation department of a university library is modeled using Integrated Network System (INS) language. The public demands on the resources are measured as are a 10 and 20% increase in the demand. T...

Zusammenfassung:A simulation language is presented which lends itself to the modeling of library operations. Here a circulation department of a university library is modeled using Integrated Network System (INS) language. The public demands on the resources are measured as are a 10 and 20% increase in the demand. The resulting data are used by management to determine the efficiency of a network and to predict manpower needs.
