Introducing engineers and students to simulation
This superbly written book provides a cogent and clear introduction to simulation. The authors (Harrell and Tumay, both of broad and deep engineering expertise and practical experience) provide an overview of the concepts of discrete-process simulation, a rich array of examples illustrating the business "bottom-line" reasons justifying simulation studies, an...

3.0 out of 5 stars
An overly light introduction
This book is one of those written for managers, where only a vague explanation is made. In my opinion, a new title is needed since at the end of reading it, you don't know how to make simulations. You get a handle on some uses of simulation and some pitfall and mistakes but in the end, the book is overly superficial.

Introducing engineers and students to simulation,

This review is from: Simulation Made Easy: A Manager's Guide (Hardcover)
This superbly written book provides a cogent and clear introduction to simulation. The authors (Harrell and Tumay, both of broad and deep engineering expertise and practical experience) provide an overview of the concepts of discrete-process simulation, a rich array of examples illustrating the business "bottom-line" reasons justifying simulation studies, an road map to successful use of simulation (with annotations of the pitfalls), and a wide-ranging array of examples drawn from actual business and engineering practice. I have successfully used this seminal book to help both working engineers and engineering students understand simulation, its methods and importance.
