The technology of system simulation was first used during World War II to simulation military strategies. At that time mainframe computers were used, users needed to have strong programming skill, simulations were run very slowly and without any animation and outputs were often very difficult to interpret and communicate.

Nowadays, since computer technology are so advanced, simulation models can be built very easily with animation included and run at a lightening speed. Moreover, outputs from simulation models can be shown in a more presentable manner so that management personnel can interpret the reports very easily for proper implementation. As a result this technology can now be used more generally in other fields such as manufacturing/logistics, service and medical industries.

Other than evaluating real systems and make organizations more profitable and productive, the technology of system simulation can also help to create a better environment for communication as the animation built along with the models, which are either in layout or a flowchart formats, can trigger constructive discussions to make people in different departments of an organization understand more about each other and therefore they can work together as a team.
