OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS

Objectives of the Course Unit: To teach the students fundamental concepts of discrete-event simulation. A review of required probability and statistics background will be followed by the study of simulation methodology. A simulation Language, ARENA V14.70.0004, will be covered in detail, with assignments that will emphasize the capabilities of such a language.
Contents of the Course Unit: Statistical Data Analysis, Monte Carlo Simulation, Develop Simulation Models, Design of Experiment with the Simulation Models, Output Analysis.

KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE UNIT (On successful completion of this course unit, students/learners will or will be able to)

To design a system in production or service systems
System model with Monte Carlo Simulation with Excel and interpret the results
Program the dynamic system simulation in Arena and evaluate the results.
Interpret the system's performance output.
