Fundamentals of Manufacturing Simulation

You will learn SIGMA for Windows, an easily learned event graph oriented simulation language that makes the structure and workings of simulation clear.  Using this methodology you will gain a solid foundation for understanding simulation.  You will also learn ARENA, a powerful easily learned entity flow oriented simulation language that is similar in organization to most commercial simulation languages.  These two simulation languages will enable you to accomplish simulation studies in a matter of hours, rather than having to spend days doing it with a commercial simulation language and they will provide you with the capability for mastering any other simulation language.  You will learn to build simulations of many common systems, including sequential manufacturing operations, service operations, assembly operations and machine breakdown and repair.  You will learn how to set up and conduct proper simulation experiments.
