Abstract

This paper discusses the role of graphical analysis of simulation data. Both static graphics and dynamic graphics contribute to the understanding of the simulation model. The advantages and disadvantages of these two major classes of output graphics are described. A SIMAN model of a manufacturing system is used to illustrate the different types of graphical output, three commercially available packages for graphically analyzing the system are discussed.
