Description

This paper describes the modeling of a skill-based routing call center using two distinct simulation approaches: the C language and the Arena software package. After reviewing the features of this type of call center, we describe the salient components of each method in modeling the call center. The paper concludes with a comparison of the pros and cons of using each simulation programming approach in this context.
