2.0 out of 5 stars
Highly useful program, if you can get past the MS-DOS format,
By A Customer
This review is from: Storm: Personal Version 3.0 : Quantitative Modeling for Decision Support/Book and 3.5" Disk (Paperback)
Storm Personal Version 3.0 is one of a nearly extinct species of programs: DOS. It defies logic that Prentice Hall and Storm Software have not updated the format to Windows. At this point in time, they should be working on a Java version of the program.
The book is written with the operation manager in mind, another rare and endangered species. The language is overly perky, "...Little else need be said, except so long and come back soon!" (pg. 44), and the examples are presented but not adequately explained for the newcomer.
Perhaps my poor opinion of the book and diskette's format is a result of not being a member of its intended audience, the long-time operations manager or material scheduler. I would hypothesize that the main population of the audience is not the professional manager, but rather the newly introduced student of the decision sciences. If this is the case, the publishers would do well to revise the focus of the book and format of the program.
