Summary:The use of qualitative and quantitative data in building a simulation model is considered. Experience of using an optimising technique to estimate parameter values in a continuous simulation model of the U.K. paper industry is described. Problems arising as a result of the incompleteness of the set of available statistical data concerning the industry are discussed, as is their impact on the model.
