Modeling with the Micro Saint simulation package

Micro Saint is a discrete-event simulation software package for building models that simulate real-life processes. With Micro Saint models, users can gain useful information about processes that might be too expensive or time-consuming to test in the real world. Some common application areas for simulation modeling include the following: (a) Modeling manufacturing processes, such as production lines, to examine resource utilization, efficiency, and cost. (b) Modeling transportation systems to examine issues such as scheduling and resource requirements. (c) Modeling service systems to optimize procedures, staffing and other logistical considerations. (d) Modeling training systems and their effectiveness over time. (e) Modeling human operator performance and interaction under changing conditions. Simulation is a cost-effective way to help show decision-makers the most cost-efficient alternatives to any problem
