Simulation in Industrial Engineering 7,5 Credits

Course Contents

General:
Discrete event simulation is an analysis method for system analysis in most areas of Industrial Engineering where processes are controlled by time-discrete start and stop events. Discrete event simulation can capture complex systems and analyze long time periods in the system in a very short real time. The method of analysis has been shown to be very powerful in the analysis of stochastic systems. The course limits its applications to production and logistics. In production, the effects of setup times, lot sizes, process times and capacity are analyzed. In logistics, the effects of transport times, inventory availability and cost calculations are analyzed. The course provides competence and experience to carry out your own simulation studies.
