Simulation Modeling for Decision Support

Catalog description

Introduction of concepts of simulation modeling and analysis, with application to manufacturing, production and service systems. It is the third course in operations research offered to the undergraduate students. The objective of this course is for students to learn to appropriately apply discrete event simulation modeling for decision support in industrial engineering problems through developing skills in model building using a discrete event simulation application program, simulation output analysis, and communication of technical information and conclusions drawn from data analysis. Students taking this course should be familiar with computer programming and operations research techniques.
