Abstract

This paper discusses how simulation is used to design and analyze manufacturing or warehousing systems. Topics discussed include: manufacturing issues investigated by simulation, techniques for building valid and credible models, manufacturing simulation software, statistical considerations, and simulation pitfalls. A case study is included.
