Performance Evaluation of Industrial Systems

"Discussing fundamental modeling tools, queuing theory, and discrete event simulation for evaluating production systems, this book presents a development environment for discrete event simulation in a language easy enough to use but flexible enough to facilitate modeling complex systems. Incorporating the use of discrete simulation to statistically analyze a system and render the most efficient time-sequences, designs, upgrades, and operations, this new edition develops new visualization graphics for DEEDS software, includes improvements in the optimization of the simulation algorithms, and adds a chapter on queuing models"
