Abstract
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.
