Summary
In this chapter, we started by listing the benefits of OTSs. We listed some benefits of generic and replica simulators, and then we moved on to low-, medium-, and high-fidelity simulators.
The benefits of high-fidelity replica simulators were discussed in more detail in operations and engineering areas, process, and control.
After that, we listed a few real projects and what was achieved by using these simulators.
Finally, we listed some real project issues that were first found in a simulator and showed what savings were made as a result for the project.
In the next chapter, we will discuss the process of building OTSs and use best practice examples from past experience with real project examples to show you a good project building process.
