looking forward to your interview with JG!

How time flies... You will be happy to hear that soon up will be a post in which I interview Jérémie Gallien, an operations research guru who specialises in exactly this sort of modelling -- and some of your questions will be answered there! For myself, I can say that I have yet to see any such model working in my own experience, which is one of the reasons why I am so excited about the spin-off from the Zambian project, in which a parameterised model is used to exactly that sort of simulations.

I know there are several programs, excel add-ons to - in principle - do monte carlo simulations of stock levels, consumptions, losses etc. over a typical central-regional-provincial stores' set up but haven't see one working as yet. Have you? best, pascal Hi Michael , maybe you remember from a cup of coffee we had in A;dam, last year, or was it already 2 years ago?
