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.

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.

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

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.

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.

You can simulate every sistem you have. Like lean manufacturing, bottlenecks, inventory, scheduling, etc.
