Abstract	We present a set of five compatible tools for rapid modeling and analysis of discrete manufacturing systems. Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheets form the database and most fundamental analysis tool for basic calculations. Manuplan II provides the user with a powerful tool to study the dynamics of manufacturing systems through analytical modeling: with this tool, models can be built in hours and each "what-if" is analyzed in minutes. SimStarter allows almost instantaneous conversion of the analytical model into simulation code. Siman provides detailed simulation modeling abilities in a package designed for the industrial user. Finally, Cinema gives manufacturing analysts the power of animation to present their results to co-workers and management in a convincing manner. All of these tools are designed to work together: Manuplan II has a Lotus 1-2-3 interface, SimStarter connects Manuplan II and Siman, and Cinema works directly with Siman code. Using this integrated set of tools, analysts can rapidly investigate decisions in all stages of the design and operation of manufacturing systems. This leads to cost-effective and timely analysis of manufacturing decisions, and hence to greater productivity and competitive position of the manufacturing enterprise.
