Abstract
We focus on the steps taken to minimize human error in simulation modeling in General Motors. While errors are costly and undesirable in any field, they are especially harmful in simulation which has been struggling to gain acceptance in the business world for a long time. The solution discussed can be summarized as "enter the data once and use the best tool for the job".
