Aim:
The main goal of this course is to provide students with basic knowledge in discrete-event simulation and its use for the analysis of communication, transport, production and service systems. The course also aims at providing practical experience in simulation modeling. After completion of the course the student will be able to:
- Describe fundamental concepts in discrete-event simulation.
- List and explain advantages and disadvantages of simulation as analysis tool.
- Model stochastic input data with probability distributions and assess quality of input models.
- Build simulation models of production, service and transportation systems
- Perform analysis with simulation models and draw conclusions from stochastic simulations.
