ManSim is a discrete event simulation tool developed for use by production planners, factory directors, manufacturing operations managers, and others responsible for planning and managing manufacturing facilities. With ManSim, a factory is defined (process steps, equipment, etc.) and months of operations are simulated in seconds. ManSim is extremely flexible and easy to use. It provides an understanding of the effects of different factory layouts, equipment reliability, product mix, and production strategies. Practical uses of ManSim include analysis of facility start-up strategies, justification for new capital expenditures, and providing speedy answers to "what if" questions to assist decision making. UNIX (TM) platforms supported: Sun-3, Sun-4, Sun386i, SPARC DEC ULTRIX (TM) HP 8000 386 based PCs running UNIX Apple AU/X The manufacturer will consider porting ManSim to any UNIX system.
