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

Presents step-by-step procedures for conducting successful simulation modeling and analysis

Addresses every phase of performing simulations, from formulating the problem to presenting study results and recommendations

Uses approaches applicable regardless of the specific simulation or software used

Includes a summary of the major simulation software packages and discusses the pros and cons of using general purpose programming languages

Industry Reviews

"Chung provides clear explanations with very little math . The screen shots are clear and easy to read, as is the text. [This book] is a practical text for professionals involved in, and students of, simulation modeling. Due to its detail and coverage, it would be an excellent book for those starting in simulation modeling, and would be a good reference for those with experience in the field. It is recommended for collections that cater to manufacturing and mechanical engineering students and professionals, as well as others who focus on simulation modeling." - E-Streams, Vol. 7, No. 10, Oct. 2004
