| contents | We analyze call center data on properties such as agent heterogeneity, customer patience and breaks. Then we compare simulation models that are different in the ways these properties are modeled. We classify them according to the extend in which they approach the actual service level and average waiting times. We obtain a theoretical understanding on how to distinguish between the model error and other aspects such as random noise. We conclude that modeling explicitly breaks and agent heterogeneity is crucial for obtaining a precise model. |
