Abstract :
Simulation has been used to solve a tenninal operation problem involving manning in existing facilities and to test changes in design for new facilities. The discussion includes why General Purpose Simulation System (GPSS) III was chosen, how the model was developed, further uses for the same model, and the results of the simulation.
