Systems modeling and simulation

With the increasing emphasis on reduced time to market, increased product quality, and improved customer satisfaction, has come the need for more efficient and effective procedures to develop new and redesigned products. With this emphasis companies have realized that the design of products and manufacturing processes are significantly interconnected. Likewise, a deeper consideration of the problem reveals that, in fact, the efficient design of a product is dependent on all of the processes of the enterprise. Therefore, if an organization is to be effective in markets in the future they must develop integrated strategies for designing new products, their production processes, as well as the supporting processes, including manufacturing, sales, distribution, and product support. Given the complexity of this endeavor there is a need for systems modeling and simulation tools which can support all aspects of the design of products, processes, and enterprises.
