    Biography

    Dr Andrew Greasley began using simulation when he joined the Business Modelling Centre at the University of Derby in 1988. The centre offered a simulation consultancy service to local industry and used the SIMAN/CINEMA system. SIMAN was the first major simulation language for the IBM PC. After a period as an academic at the University of Derby from 1994 he moved to Aston University in 2001.

    He has extensive experience of developing and implementing simulation applications in the public and private sector including working with companies such as ABB Transportation Ltd. (now Bombardier), Derbyshire Constabulary, GMT Hunslet Ltd., Golden Wonder Ltd., Luxfer Gas Cylinders Ltd., Marks and Spencer PLC, Pall-Ex Holdings Ltd., Rolls Royce Ltd. (Industrial Power Group), Southern Derbyshire Health Authority, Stanton Valves Ltd., Tecquipment Ltd., Textured Jersey Ltd. and Warwickshire Police.

    He has taught simulation as a Visiting Lecturer at a number of institutions in Europe and Africa. He currently teaches discrete-event simulation to postgraduate students at Aston University and The University of Warwick. He has supervised a number of PhD and DBA students to completion and has been an internal and external examiner for PhD and DBA students. He is interested in supervising further students in the area of discrete-event simulation. 

    In terms of research he has over 140 publications including in journals such as the International Journal of Operations and Production Management, Journal of the Operational Research Society, Technovation, Computers in Industry and Simulation. He is on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Manufacturing Technology Management. A number of text books, monographs and practitioner guides have been published which are shown below.
