Abstract
Applications on mathematics can be used to explain in many phenomenon in both science and other areas called mathematical modeling. If such mathematical modeling can explain those phenomenon well and be accurate, using random numbers in order to simulate situations is one of important mathematical models and also widely used. In this paper, we present using random numbers to simulate determined and probability situations which are ease to understand. We apply the methods in real live situations, namely, warehouse problems. The results show the applications of mathematics in order to efficiently use in managements in many situations by using relevant mathematical models.
