Methodology for discrete-event simulation software selection
Realization in two phasesThe first phase
Reduce selection to max. 10 products on the base of important criterion (K.O.) (red in tables)
The second phase Detail evaluation of software packages on the base
of the next weighted criterion

Weighted criteria
Weight is determined to each criteria.5 – very important(K.O.)1 – less important
Evaluation is sufficient in the first phase1 – criteria is satisfied 0 – criteria is not satisfied

More detail evaluation (the second phase)
Define a scale for scoring. E.g.:3 – good2- sufficient1 – insufficient0 – feature does not exist
