This study is an extension of an earlier study that examined by using a systematic literature review if the application of simulation modelling in operations management did consider more than just positivist approaches. Based on the earlier results, this paper aims to further analyse the outcomes of the use of simulation modelling guided by a framework. The analyses based on the framework involved reviewing outcomes of methods and tools that apply the simulation modelling with regard to types of building theory approaches, objectives and data used. Within the framework, building theory is examined by the simulation models through theories that use simulation models to test and verify, paradigm shifts to validate, design rules and principles to test and experiment, and to triangulate rules and principles to analyse their effectiveness and usability with regard to design of operations.
