CONTENT
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 computer-based simulation model for a given discrete event system
PROGRAMME OUTCOMES
