Objectives
The purpose of this course is to introduce students to
simulation modeling which is extensively used in production and
logistical related applications.
In this course, AnyLogic™
- an innovative simulation tool built on the latest advances in
modeling science and information technology made in the last ten years
- will be introduced. Students are expected to build their own models
using this tool by the end of this course
Topics to be covered
- Refresh on Statistics: distributions and density
functions
- Queueing Theory
- Random numbers and random number generators
- Variance Reduction Techniques
- Experiment Design
- Discrete Event Simulation
- simple manufacturing models
- shop floor
- supply chains
- etc.
