Simulation with Arena 5th Edition By W David Kelton

Simulation with Arena provides a comprehensive treatment of simulation using industry standard Arena software. The text starts by having the reader develop simple high-level models and then progresses to advanced modeling and analysis. Statistical design and analysis of simulation experiments is integrated with the modeling chapters, reflecting the importance of mathematical modeling of these activities.

Salient features

• Text features coverage of the latest academic version of Arena software.
• New software capabilities are included in later chapters.
• New Exercises in all the chapters, updated with solutions in the new software
