Product Description
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.

Realmente util June 17, 2000

Se puede simular casi cualquier sistema. Realmente util en el trabajo de un ingeniero industrial para determinar el flujo de producto, inventarios, lay-out de planta y detectar cuellos de botella.

I must say that I have read many books in the discrete-event simulation (DES) theory and practice and I am experienced in the topic. This book covers all of the DES issues and relates them with ProModel capabilities. The software is really easy to use for modelling real world production and service systems. The book will be useful not only to DES beginners but also to experienced DES modellers.
I rated book with four stars because of the discrepancy between the information regarding examples in the Lab section and their ProModel models (such as interarrival and service times). I hope that the following edition would be less erroneous.
Amazing June 17, 2000
You can simulate every sistem you have. Like lean manufacturing, bottlenecks, inventory, scheduling, etc.
