Abstract
This paper analyzes simulation as a knowledge base for decision support and its’ usefulness in application on three cases: 1) post-decision analysis of the reengineering process, 2) warehouse optimization in an uncertain environment, and 3) decision-making process supported by simulation in a laboratory environment. The paper describes the methodological aspect of simulation as part of the anticipative system and the practical application of simulation and interaction between user, simulation model and scenario in the process of seeking for a solution to a managerial problem as decision support in a business system. Results of all three cases show the effectiveness of simulation in decision support and prove simulation to be a powerfull tool in organizational learning.
