Description Simulation Using ProModel covers the art and science of simulation in general and the use of ProModel simulation software in particular. The text blends theory with practice. Actual applications in business, services and manufacturing and a hands-on approach to simulation, including real-world simulation projects, are emphasized.
The third edition of Simulation Using ProModel reflects the most recent version of the ProModel software in all the examples and labs as well as expanded coverage on generating random variates and design of experiments.
Features
Updated Examples to reflect current version of ProModel.
Expanded Random Variate Coverage
Simulation Covered Earlier The material has been rearranged from the previous edition so students are introduced to actual simulation sooner. The text includes a complete account of a real-world simulation project.
Expanded Coverage of Experiment Design to help students learn how to set up and run a meaningful experiment and document the results.
Enhanced Website accompanies the text and allows users of the text to download the latest student version of ProModel as well as the current ProModel Tutorial and Basic Training course. In addition, instructors have access to the solutions manual, lab exercises, and PowerPoint lecture slides.
