This course provides you with a unique experiential learning environment where we simulate structured real-world situations via microcomputer games, case studies, and physical simulations. Thus we will evaluate the kind of decision support systems required for excellence in manufacturing. Lectures and readings will supplement our analysis of production systems. Specific topics covered are listed in the Course Schedule. 45-949 Simulation Modeling for Production Systems.
Simulation is a widely-used technique for building realistic models of complex systems.
Designers of such systems use these models to experiment with alternative systems without having to build a real, physical system. The technique has applications in all functional areas of business although the examples presented in this class will be primarily be in the area of production systems. This is an introductory course on simulation modeling. 45-890 Statistics for Manufacturing. In this course both the theoretical foundations and applications of the statistical control for manufacturing processes are presented.
