A growing collection of exercises developed by ExtendSim simulation engineers provide ease of mind for educators and credibility for students. Each exercise consists of a detailed case study for students, a set of reference guides, solutions document, and final model.
Case Studies plus the Block and Code Reference Guides can be downloaded here. Access to complete exercise packets including case study and solutions is limited to educators at accredited institutions. Professors can request entire case study packets by contacting us.

Case Studies
 Airline Check-In CounterThis case study provides the background and data necessary to build an ExtendSim model to optimize the check-in process at an airline terminal. It includes passenger arrival data that can be used to determine appropriate staffing levels to accommodate both Frequent Flyer and general passengers.  Concepts introduced: discrete event simulation, random distributions, staffing allocation, wait time optimization, capacity planning |
 Medical ClinicComing soon! Concepts introduced: discrete event simulation, routing and attributes, capacity planning, utilization of staff, patient cycle time |
