CONTENT

Simulation Modeling and analysis of manufacturing and service systems; simulation modeling prospectives; discrete event and continuous simulation; simulation languages/ software; statistical aspects of simulation.

OBJECTIVE

By the end of this course, successful students should have learnt the principles of simulation, modelling, and statistical analysis for discrete event systems as well as the techniques and tools to apply those principles on a computer, in particular using the simulation software package ARENA.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

  • Describe the principles of simulation modeling and analysis for discrete event systems
  • Identify probability distributions and perform statistical analysis of both input and output data
  • Construct the simulation model of a given system using the simulation software package ARENA
