Description and Table of Contents

Description

Simulation modelling provides corporate planners with an effective and low cost method of assessing new manufacturing systems before installation. It plays an increasingly important part in the decision making process, particularly since the recent development of new, more powerful and attractively priced software. This volume explores the extent of its usefulness, examines state of the art systems and relates the techniques to important management strategies including JIT.
