Witness HORIZON 25 Simulation Modeling by Neil G Murray, Jr Book PDF Summary
Witness HORIZON 25 Simulation Modeling: Rational Process Design Lanner Group released the latest update to their WITNESS process simulation software, WITNESS HORIZON 25, in 2022. WITNESS HORIZON 25 includes many enahncements from prior releases. These improvements build upon Witness's strengths in modeling discrete even and flow processes. Some of these capabilities? Best in class capability to model multicycle machines, model machine breakdowns with multiple breakdown causes, each with independent frequencies of occurrence, and finally modeling internal and external setup activities. To facilitate digital twinning, Witness HORIZON can both receive data from external sources and supply data as an output. These interactions can be with Microsoft Excel and Access as well as through SQL. This fully color illustrated edition of Witness HORIZON 25 Simulation Modeling: Rational Process Design provides an introduction to manufacturing process design and simulation modeling. More than being just a simple explanation of the mechanics of developing simulation models, there is a significant focus on the use of Axiomatic Design for manufacturing processes and building stochastic simulation models based on a strong foundation of process and product functional requirements. The author's approach is conversational with occasional humorous asides, taking the reader through a series of realistic exercises that are illustrated step-by-step. The eight chapters of exercises sequentially build knowledge, experience and, in the end, the modeler's self-confidence. After all, one would certainly be reluctant to learn to ride a bicycle from reading a book. Learning to develop useful simulation models is, in the end, best accomplished by actually building models and this text supports that model building activity with a thorough level of detail.
