Book excerpt: Rational Process Design and Simulation Modeling with Witness Horizon 22 Lanner Group released the latest update to their WITNESS process simulation software, WITNESS Horizon 22, in 2018. WITNESS Horizon includes many updates from prior releases especially including dramatic enhancements in three-dimensional modeling, Data Tables and charting tools. This edition of Rational Process Design & Simulation Modeling with WITNESS Horizon 22 provides an introduction to manufacturing process design and simulation modeling. More than being just a simple explanation of the mechanics of developing simulation models, there is a significant focus on the use of Axiomatic Design for manufacturing processes and building stochastic simulation models based on a strong foundation of process and product functional requirements. The approach is conversational with occasional humorous asides, taking the reader through a series of exercises that are illustrated step-by-step. The seven chapters of exercises sequentially build knowledge, experience and the reader's self-confidence. After all, one would certainly be reluctant to learn to ride a bicycle from reading a book. Learning to develop useful simulation models is, in the end, best accomplished by actually building models and this text supports that model building with a thorough level of detail.
