The effects of OM policies over many months or years can be obtained by computer simulation in a short time. This phenomenon is referred to as
A) time suppression
B) time suspension
C) time compression
D) time inversion
E) time conversion

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The phenomenon described is known as time compression. It refers to the ability of computer simulation to compress the time required to observe the effects of OM policies over a long period of time, into a short time-frame. This is achieved by accelerating the simulation process without compromising the accuracy of the results.
