N2 - One weakness of many simulations of production systems is an overly simplistic treatment of human resource considerations. This paper presents a simple model of a human-resource-based production system that can be used to augment other models of production systems. The simple model is used to illustrate how various human resource functions are inter-related, and a few hypothetical examples are presented to show how important it is to model accurately human resource costs when production costs are being estimated.
