SimQuick

SimQuick is a freely-distributed Excel-based software package for building


simulation models of processes such as: waiting lines, supply chains,
manufacturing facilities, and project scheduling. SimQuick is designed to be
easy to learn and use, with clearly-defined functionality. The package has
been used both to model real-world processes as well as in educational
settings to introduce fundamental concepts of modeling, process simulation,
and operations management.

For an example of a SimQuick model and more details on SimQuick visit the
website: SimQuick.net.

SimQuick models consist of linked combinations of five basic elements. The


element types are Entrances, Exits, Work Stations, Buffers, and Decision
Points. You have a lot of discretion in how these elements are combined to
build a model of a process. Characteristics of the elements are entered into
SimQuick by filling in tables. Statistical distributions are a key characteristic;
they capture the uncertainty inherent in almost all processes: arrival times of
people at a service, times to process a document or machined part, demand
for a product in a store, and so on.

SimQuick is accompanied by an inexpensive 125-page booklet that covers the


basics of process simulation and how to build models using SimQuick.
Information on the booklet and how to order it can be found at SimQuick.net.
