Description
Serving as an introductory text on the subject of systems analysis and design using simulation, this book concentrates on discrete systems, and covers generic, basic concepts that enable readers to learn quickly and apply various available simulation tools. To provide a means for topic reinforcement, a new simulation software tool on 3.5" IBM disk that requires no prior knowledge of computer programming accompanies the book. The distinctive approach of the text is to first present general concepts in a format that makes the presentation independent of any software tool, and then present the accompanying software for use in hands-on exercises. Features: The simplicity and the strength of the simulation tool, along with the generality of the subjects covered are the major factors that enhance the applicability of the book to a large, diversified audience; Coverage of applications examples and case studies are divided into two major sections of service industry and manufacturing industry; General concepts of simulation and modelling are covered in an accessible, generic fashion.
