Title
ProModel/MedModel: simulation modeling and optimization using ProModel technology
Abstract
The ProModel Optimization Suite is a powerful yet easy-to-use simulation tool for modeling all types of manufacturing systems ranging from small job shops and machining cells to large mass production, flexible manufacturing systems, and supply chain systems. ProModel is a Windows based application with an intuitive graphical interface and object-oriented modeling constructs that eliminate the need for programming. It combines the flexibility of a general-purpose simulation language with the convenience of a data-driven simulator. The ProModel Optimization Suite includes an optimization tool called SimRunner that performs sophisticated "what-if" analysis by running automatic factorial design of experiments on the model, providing the best answer possible. This paper provides an overview of the ProModel Optimization Suite and presents its modeling, analysis, and optimization capabilities.
