The course objective is to cover the advantage of using simulation. The goals and objectives are as follows:
1) Identify necessary parameters for building a simulation model
2) Design a simulation model for a given system
3) Apply a simulation model
4) Analyse the output of a simulation model
5) Understand limitations and advantages of simulation
6) Realise possibilities in using simulation
7) Set up appropriate Key Performance Indicators for the model
8) Hands-on-experience
To present and demonstrate their understanding of the material, the students will work on a case.
Objectives 1, 3, 4, 6 and 7 are linked to AACSB learning objectives.
Analyzing production/service systems in both the design and operation phases involves static (time independent) and dynamic (time dependent) tools. One of the most important dynamic tool is simulation which is the focus of this course as it will introduce simulation to the students. During the course the students will obtain an understanding for what simulation is, the limitations and advantages together with which parameters there are necessary for doing a simulation. The different phases in building a simulation model will be taught. The students will get a hand-on experience for using simulation. As the term production system is getting broader, examples of simulation models for other areas than traditional industry will be given.
