Figure 5: Class Diagram for Paper Rolls ManagementComputer Simulation, defined as a broad collection of methods and applications to mimic thebehavior of real systems, usually on a computer with appropriate software7 was used to representthe picking and inventory taking processes. It has become more popular and powerful than eversince computers and software capabilities are improving every day. Specifically, Arena 10.0software used for this project simulation due to its characteristics of combining the ease of use ofhigh-level simulators with the flexibility of simulation languages.Figure 6 shows the primary resources of the simulation

summarizessome of the surveyed computing topics. Table 1: Summary of 2002 computing survey questions after Abudayyeh et al.1 Computer application Computer-related skill Project management Use of spreadsheets Simulation Use of equation solvers CAD/GIS Programming in Fortran, C++, Java Optimization Use of electronic communication Collaboration Environments Use of database management systemsTable 1 is especially useful because it explicitly defines what the computing skills of value are(or were) at the time. Comparisons with the older surveys are somewhat limited due to
