Question 7: Go to the promodel web site on the internet (www.promodel.com). What are some of the successful real world applications where Promodel was used? What other applications are Promodel products used for besides manufacturing? The ProModel was used successfully in many different kinds of companies, we can find for example cases of sucess in Aerospace and Defense Manufacturing, Government and Departament of Defense, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Pharmaceutical and Services.The solutions involve Capacity Planning and Throughput Analysis, Hospital Patient Flow, Lean Six Sigma, Project Portfolio Planning and Suply Chain and Logistics. The Carilon Clinic can be cited as a company that is satisfied with the implementation of the ProModel.

Question 5: In the arrivals element (Build menu), there are two items – occurences and frequency. What are the differences between these two items? What is the significance of the Qty each column? What is the significance of the First Time column? When and how can we use it in a simulation model? The difference is that occurrences is the number of times per simulation run that ProModel will generate arrivals (1 - 999999), and frequency is the inter-arrival time or time between arrivals. The Qty each column is the number (1 to 999999) of entities to arrive at each arrival time interval. The First Time column option allows you to dynamically vary the time of the first arrival to your model. You may define scheduled arrivals to occur at given intervals (e.g., appointments) or use an arrival cycle to define random arrivals over a period of time (this value is the start time for the first cycle). ProModel evaluates this field only at the beginning of the simulation.
Question 6: What are the various time units that you can use while developing a model? Where do you provide this information? The time units are second, minute, hour and days. We can provide this information at the menu Build
