ProModel is a Windows-based simulation package that you can use to model just about any system of discrete events, such as manufacturing systems, business processes, and service systems.
ProModel schedules simulation events based on predefined parameters. You tell ProModel how and when the entities (in this case, silicon wafers) arrive at each machine, how long each machine takes to service them, and under what conditions. When you run the simulation, the computer processes each event and keeps track of the system's vital statistics as the model changes state.
ProModel provides several standardized reports, graphs, and animations that summarize the results of the system over time. These are valuable in comparing alter
native scenarios. Important statistics include system throughput, machine utilization, and average queuing times in the machine buffers.

My approach to software engineering is far more pragmatic than it
is
theoretical--and no language better exemplifies this than C++.
