ABSTRACT
ALPHA/Sim is a general-purpose, discrete-event simulation tool. ALPHA/Sim allows a user to graphically build a simulation model, enter input data via integrated forms, execute the simulation model, and view the simulation results, within a single graphical environment. In this paper, we introduce ALPHA/Sim and describe how to use ALPHA/Sim to build, simulate, and analyze a simple manufacturing system. In addition, we briefly describe some advanced features and list some sample applications.
