ProModelPC tutorial [simulation software]

ProModel (production modeler) is a microcomputer-based manufacturing simulation program that combines the flexibility of simulation languages and easy-to-use features of manufacturing simulators for rapid model development of complex systems. The authors present an overview of ProModel, describe the elements that provide ProModel´s modeling power and its ease-of-use, and highlight these elements with an example. ProModel is designed for industrial and manufacturing engineers who have neither the time nor the interest to do programming and yet who have the need for a modeling tool that is powerful enough to simulate a wide range of production systems. ProModel´s design philosophy is also attractive to professors who are interested in teaching simulation modeling concepts rather than teaching how to do programming in industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering, production management and operations management courses
