Simulation.

Catalog description

An introduction to discrete event simulation methods with emphasis on applications in manufacturing. The operations research topic of queuing theory is used to illustrate the importance of simulation as a problem- solving tool. Concepts and techniques of simulation modeling are covered as well as the statistical concepts and techniques required to obtain representative data, apply it to the model, and evaluate the results. A current high-level simulation language will be used to code the model for funning on the computer. Prerequisites: ENGR 301Engineering Statistics and ENGR 203 Introduction to Programming.
