Simulation of Industrial Systems

"Simulation of Industrial Systems: Discrete Event Simulation Using Excel/VBA - introduces the Design Environment for Event Driven Simulation (DEEDS), on original simulator, which facilitates the modeling of complex situations using four (self-contained) nodes: source, queue, facility, and delay; demonstrates how to use discrete event simulation as a powerful tool for the analysis, planning, design, and operation of diverse production systems; provides an understanding of how to model application areas such as facilities layout, material handling, inventory control, scheduling, maintenance, quality control, and supply chain logistics; and integrates the design of experiments and optimization techniques for improving production system." "With the comprehensive instruction provided within these pages, in combination with the flexibility of the DEEDS program environment, operations managers will be able to harness the power of discrete event simulation to streamline their production environments."--BOOK JACKET.Elizandro, David is the author of 'Simulation of Industrial Systems', published 2007 under ISBN 9781420067446 and ISBN 1420067443.
