The predictions by a stochastic digital simulation model of the ability of two selected teams (a "fast" team and a "slow" team) to perform a simulated man-machine task are compared with the actual performance of the teams on the task. Reasonable agreement was found between the predictions of the model and actual criterion data in four comparative areas: (1) success proportion, (2) total time used, (3) time used to intermediate subtasks, and (4) effects of simulated machine failure on performance.
