The objective of the course is to acquire the basic knowledge in the field of discrete simulation techniques (modeling, simulation and analysis) which allow students to perform the analysis of various solutions in the process design.

Students will be able to model, simulate and analyze the processes and design improvements that achieve the optimum parameters of the process. B.Sc. in Industrial Engineering and Management acquires competence for advanced level in production system design with the use of simulation as an analytical tool.

Simulation as a method for improving the business processes. Simulation application. Process modeling. Research productivity of production processes. Advantages and disadvantages of simulation techniques. Basic concepts. Queuing theory. Quantitative analysis of discrete systems in the field of production, transport, storage and services. Specifics of the service simulation system. Process simulation planning. Input data collecting. Model shaping. Model testing. Examples of the manual and computer simulation.

Lectures, computer and laboratory practice will be performed in the specific lab with a various solutions of discrete event simulation software.
