A Simulator Acquisition Strategy for Limited Training Budgets
©2012, nHance Technologies, Inc.
This paper briefly describes the advantages of simulation training as well as the return on investment for an Operator Training Simulator (OTS) acquisition. Because full scope replica simulators can be expensive, the paper outlines a way the benefits of simulation can be acquired cost effectively using low-cost generics, while planning site specific upgrades for future budgets.
