 Towards fully-facilitated discrete event simulation modelling: Addressing the model coding stageN.C. Proudlove, S. Bisogno, B.S.S. Onggo, A. Calabrese and N. Levialdi Ghiron European Journal of Operational Research, 2017, vol. 263, issue 2, 583-595 Abstract: The literature suggests that increasing stakeholder engagement has a positive impact on projects using discrete-event simulation in healthcare. This suggests projects should strive to involve the stakeholders in as much of the project as possible, through facilitated workshops. A notable gap in stakeholder involvement is the model coding stage, in which a conceptual model is turned into a discrete-event simulation model running on a computer. This paper investigates how and under what circumstances model coding might also be conducted in facilitated workshops, in particular through the use of the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) modelling standard. This work arose from a series of modelling projects with two hospitals, one in Italy and the other in the UK.
