About this Item

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Simulation modeling is becoming increasingly popular as a technique for evaluating the performance of resource allocation and alternate operating policies. It is a cost-effective method for improving process performance and can be used to evaluate the performance of capital equipment before investments. This handbook is a practical, easy-to-follow reference that offers step-by-step procedures for conducting simulation studies that help decision-makers find the optimal courses of action. Unlike most other books on the subject, this presentation is independent of any particular simulation software, allowing readers to use any commercial package or general purpose programming language.

About this title

Synopsis

The use of simulation modeling and analysis is becoming increasingly more popular as a technique for improving or investigating process performance. This book is a practical, easy-to-follow reference that offers up-to-date information and step-by-step procedures for conducting simulation studies. It provides sample simulation project support material, including checklists, data-collection forms, and sample simulation project reports and publications to facilitate practitioners' efforts in conducting simulation modeling and analysis projects.

Simulation Modeling Handbook: A Practical Approach has two major advantages over other treatments. First, it is independent of any particular simulation software, allowing readers to use any commercial package or programming language. Second, it was written to insulate practitioners from unnecessary simulation theory that does not focus on their average, practical needs.

As the popularity of simulation studies continues to grow, the planning and execution of these projects, more and more engineering and management professionals will be called upon to perform these tasks. With its simple, no-nonsense approach and focus on application rather than theory, this comprehensive and easy-to-understand guide is the ideal vehicle for acquiring the background and skills needed to undertake effective simulation projects.

Features
