OPIM-7110 (3) Simulation Modeling and Analysis

Introduces the concepts of simulation modeling. Provides practical experience with real examples using popular commercial simulation packages such as Arena or Extend. Emphasizes discrete-event simulation but also covers topics in Monte Carlo simulation and system dynamics. Practical examples from operations management, manufacturing, and services are used to give students an appreciation for the wide scope of application and the robust nature of simulation modeling in the context of decision making. Formerly SYST 7110.
