OR for Simulation and Its Optimization

This is an expository paper to promote the potential of OR (Operations Research) for simulation. Three applications will therefore be presented which include call centers, check-in at airports, and performance bounds for production lines. The results indicate that (classical and new) OR results might still be most fruitful if not necessary for practical simulation and its optimization.
