Course Objectives: | This course is designed for junior level Industrial Engineering and close disciplines' students to give the fundamental concepts of modelling and analysis of discrete systems. The course aims to provide rigorous input and output analyses of the simulation model created using the statistical and probabilistic concepts as well as modelling the discrete systems, with the examples from both manufacturing and service systems using a general purpose simulation software. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; I. Recognize the basic principles of simulation modeling. II. Define and use appropriate performance metrics when modeling a system. III. Recognize the basic concepts of a discrete event simulation model including model components, flowchart, and event list. IV. Collect and manage performance measurement data. V. Data collection or production from a sample data set. Statistical analysis of the sample data to estimate or approximate the probabilistic distribution and its parameters. VI. Modelling and analysis of discrete event simulation models of both manufacturing and service systems using generic simulation program called ARENA. VII. Developing simulation models that address critical research issues and/or industrial systems. VIII. Recognizing how a computer simulation program can be used to model complex systems and solve related decision problems under different working conditions, which are presented through several what-if scenarios and analyses. IX. Running a simulation model under different scenarios through either short-term but with consecutive replications or one very long run to get turely random output and their statistical analyses. X. Apply a simulation project from start to finish following the stages, data collection or generation, designing the model, building the model, creating the working scenarios, running the simulation with multiple replications and statistical analyses of the output generated. |
This course is an alternative modelling method to mathematical optimization to model the complex systems. This course aims to teach the fundamental principles of simulation modelling, its steps, data creation, design and create a simulation model with the help of a simulation software, running the model under different system scenarios, obtaining the output as well as analysing and reporting output. |
