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 system 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. In addition, ProModel utilizes 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. The article provides an overview of the ProModel Optimization Suite and presents its modeling, analysis, and optimization capabilities |
