AB  - By using commercially available simulation software, a computer model for a typical municipal street tree maintenance operation is presented. Variables, such as the incoming work orders, crew assignments and productivity standards that represent the workflow of a service-on-demand street tree maintenance program, were included. Although additional simulated complexities are involved, the developed model provides a foundation from which managerial decision making and a typical tree care operation may be analyzed.
