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 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 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 aim to make a contribution in the areas of research, teaching and learning and impact in industry.
