Master’s in Mathematics | Expert in Analytical Modeling & Real-World Simulation
In the world of Operations Research, the best solutions don’t come from guesses—they come from models. For Ahsan Khan, a trained mathematician and analyst, simulation is more than a method—it’s a mission to replicate complex systems, understand behavior, and optimize performance.
From healthcare systems to supply chains, Ahsan creates mathematical and simulation models that mimic real-world processes—helping decision-makers test strategies, manage risk, and make the smartest moves before investing a single rupee.
Many systems—factories, hospitals, transport networks—are too complex for exact formulas or assumptions. Ahsan uses simulation to:
Test “what-if” scenarios
Analyze system bottlenecks
Minimize risk in decisions
Evaluate performance before implementation
Every model begins with a question.
"How can we reduce patient waiting time in the ER?"
"What’s the best vehicle routing for 200 deliveries in Karachi?"
Ahsan starts by mapping system components, data inputs, and decision variables.
Depending on the system, Ahsan chooses the appropriate modeling technique:
🧮 Mathematical Models:
Linear Programming (LP)
Mixed-Integer Programming (MIP)
Stochastic Programming
🔁 Simulation Models:
Discrete-Event Simulation (DES)
Monte Carlo Simulation
System Dynamics Modeling
Using simulation software or custom Python/R code, Ahsan runs hundreds or thousands of replications to observe performance under different inputs or uncertainty.
Example:
Simulating emergency room flow over a 24-hour period helped uncover peak congestion times and staff misalignments.
Each model tracks KPIs like:
Waiting time
Queue length
Resource utilization
Throughput
Inventory levels
Service levels
Once the simulation is stable, Ahsan applies optimization techniques to improve outcomes.
Simulated delivery routes under variable traffic and package volumes.
✅ Outcome: 25% reduction in fuel costs, 15% increase in on-time delivery rates.
Built a discrete-event model of assembly lines, including maintenance and buffer zones.
✅ Outcome: Identified hidden bottlenecks; raised production output by 18% with minor scheduling

“A model doesn’t give you the answer—it gives you the insight to make the right decision.”
