Book Description

ISBN-10: 0072397667 | ISBN-13: 978-0072397666 | Publication Date: March 3, 2000 | Edition: 1

The book promotes a hands-on approach to simulation. An accompanying CD contains a version of ProModel, a ProModel tutorial and ProModel lab solutions. ProModel, a widely used simulation language, is covered extensively in the text. Lab exercises walk students through the use of ProModel to do statistical distribution fitting, basic modeling, model verification and debugging, as well as output analysis and optimization. A set of cases in manufacturing, warehousing, and service industries is also provided and can be assigned as simulation projects.

4.0 out of 5 stars Concise and straight to the point book, October 9, 2005

T. Grubi (Croatia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Simulation Using Promodel w/ CD-Rom (Hardcover)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Realmente util, June 16, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Simulation Using Promodel (Mcgraw-Hill Series in Industrial Engineering and Management Science) (Hardcover)

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.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Simulation using PROMODEL w/CD-ROM (Hardcover)

Extremely helpful. Goes into much more depth than the users manual that is supplied with the ProModel software.

3.0 out of 5 stars Similuation Using ProModel
The book doesn't do as good of a job as it could in explaining how to use it and answer more specific questions about using ProModel. It's not bad, but it could be improved.

Published 11 months ago by RattlerBdub

3.0 out of 5 stars My review
This book is a good book for modeling and simulation for people who are don't know about this subject, and just start for modeling.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing
You can simulate every sistem you have. Like lean manufacturing, bottlenecks, inventory, scheduling, etc.
