The
second edition of Simulation Using ProModel covers the art and
science of simulation in general and the use of ProModel
simulation software in particular. The lead author is the Chief
Technology Advisor for ProModel Corporation. The text is
appropriate for use in both a graduate or undergraduate course
in simulation in a Business, Engineering or Computer Science
program, and as a self-study guide to simulation for
practitioners in business and industry.
The
second edition of Simulation Using Promodel reflects the most
recent version of the ProModel software available (version 6.0)
and includes a new chapter and lab that provide deeper coverage
of how random behavior is simulated and how output results are
generated and evaluated. Additional examples, review questions,
lab exercises and case study assignments have also been added to
further enhance students’ learning experience.
This
text blends theory with practice presenting actual applications
in business, services and manufacturing. General topics include
simulation basics, planning, data collection and analysis, model
building, model verification and validation, output analysis and
experimental design. Additionally, this is the first simulation
text that covers simulation optimization using modern
techniques. For a practical emphasis, complete chapters are
devoted to typical modeling issues encountered in manufacturing,
material handling and service systems. |
