VIA 512E - Simulation Modelling

Course Objectives

1. Make students attain the ability to model a (moderately) complex production/service system by simulation technique.
2. Make student attain the ability to analyze the simulation output data.
3. Make students learn how to interpret model output, for decision support.
4. Teach students to use a contemporary simulation software, competently.
