USING A SIMULATION MODEL TO DETERMINE THE OPTIMUM NUMBER OF PILOTS IN AN AIR FORCE

<p>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The key objective is to present a simulation model to determine the optimum number of pilots in an air force. Background information about the simulation project, and a cursory description of the system under consideration, are provided. The Simul8 simulation softw...
