Abstract
Discrete event simulation software can be an effective tool for teaching comparative analysis of manufacturing systems for improving performance. ProModel software is used in a computer integrated manufacturing course in the Mechanical Engineering Technology Program for this purpose. Use of this tool allows an instructor to demonstrate the pros and cons of various manufacturing scenarios and recommend a solution. Student interest is enhanced by assigning simulation of real life problems from local industries.
