Abstract :
PROMODEL´s simulation modeling products are powerful yet easy-to-use simulation tools for modeling all types of systems and processes. ProModel® is designed to model manufacturing systems ranging from small job shops and machining cells to large mass production, flexible manufacturing systems, and supply chain systems. Other simulation products available from PROMODEL Corporation include MedModel®, ServiceModel®, Innovate™, and ProModel PI™ (for process improvement). PROMODEL products are Windows based applications with intuitive graphical interfaces and object-oriented modeling constructs, eliminating the need for programming. They combine the flexibility of a general-purpose simulation language with the convenience of data-driven simulators. This paper provides an overview of ProModel and presents its modeling, analysis, and optimization capabilities.
