Publisher's Synopsis
As managers become familiar with using computers, simulation is being used more and more for supporting business decisions under uncertainty. Simulation is generally not possible using spreadsheets, but requires specific computer packages, such as GPSS (General Purpose Simulation System), one of the most widely used simulation system.;This book is designed to enable students to compete effectively, and features the most recent version of the GPSS language, Micro-GPSS. A range of business activities such as inventory and production management, project planning, manpower planning, case flow forecasting, distribution and traffic systems is featured. Also included are some basic simulation topics, such as random numbers, statistical functions and experimentation.
