Discrete event simulation is a modern tool for analyzing complex manufacturing, supply, communication and other business processes. This article aims to describe the difference in the perception of the benefits of simulation between a business that uses this tool and a business where this tool is not available for managers. Conclusion of this article expresses the level of benefit from using simulation in these positions, eg in relation to the project budget, flexibility to changes, etc., in context of managerial functions according to Fayol.

Keywords: data, decision-making, discrete event simulation, management
