Abstract :
The paper is based on over 25 years of experience in the field of discrete event simulation. Over this time span there has been dramatic increases in computer power, the number and the capabilities of simulation languages, and the total number of people using computers in their daily work. However, these changes have yet to make discrete event simulation a standard manufacturing decision support tool. The paper explores some reasons for this short-fall and offers some near-term and long-term solutions
