Modeling and Simulation (M&S) is a multi-layered approach of understanding the interaction of the parts of a system; where the system in this instance is the entity that operates in time and space. The first layer in M&S is the development of a simplified representation of the conceptual model to promote the understanding of the "real-world" system. Simulation is defined as a manipulation of this conceptual model, which enables interested parties to evaluate the perceived interactions of the pieces parts of a system. The results of the simulation provide a unique look into how the system as a whole interacts.

One of the major advantages of M&S is the ability to alter the conceptual model through computer simulation without impacting the actual system. Thus, answering the "what-if" questions through sensitivity analysis and enabling those decision makers to pinpoint areas of concern. Another major advantage of M&S is the ability to define and see how the system interacts as a whole.

Many consider the discipline of Modeling and Simulation as an "art" form since the development process follows a "learn and go" approach. With a host of experience in the development and simulation of complex systems, KLSS is skilled and talented in providing all of your Modeling and Simulation requirements (i.e. Vehicle and Mission Sustainment Models and Supply-Chain Availability).

KLSS has experience in developing simulations in the areas of:

• Business Process Re-Engineering
• Operation Research
• Resource Utilization and Scheduling
• System Analysis and Architecture
