TL;DR
It is shown that improved solutions can be obtained by having a visual, dynamic representation of a job-shop problem, and visual interactive simulation methods can be used for this purpose.
Abstract
This paper describes the use of the job-shop scheduling problem in order to investigate the potential of visual interactive simulation methods. Batch simulation methods are compared with visual interactive simulation methods for the job-shop problem. The paper shows that improved solutions can be obtained by having a visual, dynamic representation of a job-shop problem.

By watching a simulation model progress through time and having the ability to interact with it, a user can improve his analysis and understanding of the original problem situation.
SIMULATIONMoving pictures show simulation to user

This paper shows what is happening during a simulation as a "moving picture" on a terminal so that the users of the simulation can feel sure that they can depend on the model.

It is stressed that there is not one validation problem but many validation and specification problems which must be addressed if professional standards are to be attained.
