This superbly written book provides a cogent and clear introduction to simulation. The authors (Harrell and Tumay, both of broad and deep engineering expertise and practical experience) provide an overview of the concepts of discrete-process simulation, a rich array of examples illustrating the business "bottom-line" reasons justifying simulation studies, an road map to successful use of simulation (with annotations of the pitfalls), and a wide-ranging array of examples drawn from actual business and engineering practice. I have successfully used this seminal book to help both working engineers and engineering students understand simulation, its methods and importance.
