Abstract
Simulation is one of the most frequently used techniques for modeling manufacturing and other systems found in modern enterprises. Most simulation models are built with either a traditional programming language such as FORTRAN or a simulation software package written in a traditional programming language. These tools have their limitations. Object-oriented technology has seen increasing application in many fields and promises a more flexible and efficient approach to simulating business systems. However, many professionals engaged in modeling systems in enterprises are not yet familiar with the technology. This article provides a succinct introduction to object-oriented concepts and presents an intuitive methodology for building object-oriented simulation models. The methodology, which is based on the ideas of actors and scripts, is illustrated with queuing models. The advantages and limitations of the methodology are discussed.
