The INSIGHT simulation language describes systems in a quick, simple, and compact fashion using a network representation. This description can be entered and simulated using novel interactive facilities that relieve the user of needing to know specific syntax, while promoting a greater understanding of model behavior. Statistics summarizing the simulation are produced automatically, but can be greatly enhanced by various input models and output analysis mechanisms. Use of the language does not require programming and complex models use the descriptive features of simple ones, incorporating more elaborate specifications and more sophisticated concepts. INSIGHT is available for most computers and is portable across machines. The language has been extensively applied and its scope of applications has ranged from manufacturing to service environments. Using INSIGHT, the process of simulation modeling and the results from the simulations combine to provide “insight” into problem solving. |
