For DES, I modelled a multi-vendor service provider in the automotive spares sector. Used servers, switches, and processors (human interfaces) to create a dynamic model of a fulfillment business-Hertz, Amazon, or Tesco to clearly demonstrate the optimal setup in terms of infrastructure and human capital. Considered bottlenecks and processing times to develop a seamless integrated Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) model. Used SIMUL8 software to create a simple effective service operations model to illustrate server, storage, and human interface combinations that produced the optimal performance-High Performance Computing. I.e. integrated systems. What is the optimal number of servers, storage, and human interface? and what is the best combinations of these artifacts for a given outcome?-fastest through-put or mimimum bottlenecks
