Produktbeschreibung

Simulation Modelling for Business is a comprehensive textbook ideal for use on undergraduate and postgraduate courses. The first section of the book provides a definition of simulation modelling and describes the skills and resources required to undertake a successful simulation study. Types of simulation are assessed and the basic concepts behind the method are outlined. The main part of the book follows the steps involved in conducting a simulation study and provides a practical guide to building a simulation model and to implementing the results. Reference is made throughout to ARENA, SIMUL8 and WITNESS; systems used in industry and widely available to students. Case studies from manufacturing and service industries demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach and chapter questions are provided to assist learning.
