The application of simulation to project evaluation for real estate developers in China
For developers in China to calculate project financial returns in order to make investment decisions, the traditional Excel model only gives "point estimate" (i.e. a single value) for each input variable, and therefore the model can only reflect one possible scenario. Yet in reality many different …

Quantifying the business case for aerospace assembly automation
… the community seems divided on the quantifiable financial benefits. While automation in aerospace assembly dates back to 1937, there is little substantive research on quantifying its business case. This thesis develops a financial model that predicts the benefit of introducing automation into an …
