Omschrijving | Models are commonly used vehicles to describe, analyse and (re)design industrial and service operations. This course focuses on the development and use of conceptual models and coded models within simulation studies. Conceptual models capture the relevant model objectives, scope, and level of detail, starting from a defined problem and set of project objectives. Essentially, they offer an explicit, documented representation of a real-world, or proposed real-world system. Next, coded simulation models build on conceptual models and serve as a tool for quantitative analysis. A sound setup and analysis of experiments links the use of the coded model to decision support for operations (re)design. The first part of the course familiarises students with coding and experimentation by exploring and applying a simulation tool. The second part of the course relates simulation use to industrial practice, assuming a simulation study to be part of a project. Key issues addressed concern the definition of a conceptual model, data collection, input and output analysis, model coding, verification and validation, and decision support, i.e. reporting study findings. | ||||||||||||||||
