This text provides an introduction to simulation modelling using the SIMAN simulation language. Basic modelling concepts and various simulation methodologies are discussed to highlight practical applications of simulation and SIMAN. This edition has been updated to include the latest version of this simulation program, including the Cinema platform and Arena.

The fundamental concepts of simulation modelling are presented along with methodologies used in applying simulation to business and engineering problems. Written by the creators of SIMAN, a commercial simulation software package, this book presents practical examples in the SIMAN language.

SIMAN is a simulation language used throughout the world, much like GPSS and SLAM. In industrial engineering, SIMAN and SLAM are the dominant simulation languages.
