Course Objectives

    The purpose of this course is to introduce students to simulation modeling and analysis which is an important decision support instrument in production and logistics.

    Besides theoretical foundations, with a strong focus on queuing theory, the students will come into contact with a professional simulation software package (AnyLogic) based on which small example projects will be implemented, run and analyzed.
