Simulation of Manufacturing Systems
Since the publication of the first edition in 1982, the goal of "Simulation Modeling and
Analysis" has always been to provide a comprehensive, state-of-the-art, and technically
correct treatment of all important aspects of a simulation study. The book strives to make this
material understandable by the use of intuition and numerous figures, examples, and
problems. It is equally well suited for use in university courses, simulation practice, and self
study. The book is widely regarded as the "bible" of simulation and now has more than
100,000 copies in print. The book can serve as the primary text for a variety of courses; for
example: a first course in simulation at the junior, senior, or beginning-graduate-student level
in engineering, manufacturing, business, or computer science (Chaps. 1 through 4, and parts
of Chaps. 5 through 9). At the end of such a course, the students will be prepared to carry out
complete and effective simulation studies, and to take advanced simulation courses; and a
second course in simulation for graduate students in any of the above disciplines (most of
Chaps. 5 through 12). After completing this course, the student should be familiar with the
more advanced methodological issues involved in a simulation study, and should be prepared
to understand and conduct simulation research. It provides an introduction to simulation as
part of a general course in operations research
