Abstract: An integrated modeling and analysis system (IMAS) receives documents containing information relating to an overall operations system from a number of integrated product teams (IPTs). The IMAS creates a model architecture of the overall system the information received from the participating IPTs. The IMAS automatically imports the information without any interaction from support personnel. A discrete event modeling (DES) application in communication with the IMAS creates a DES model based on the model architecture in the IMAS. The DES application runs a simulation on the model generating statistical data relating to the overall system for analysis. The statistical data generates output reports in a format compatible with the analysis tools of the user. The IMAS includes a customizable user interface which allows a stakeholder to link and control the modeling information received from all other participating IPTs. Prior simulations and results can be archived for later reference.
