Modelling & Simulation of Manufacturing Systems

This course provides an introduction to modeling and simulation of manufacturing systems. The objective is to give students knowledge of fundamental simulation concepts and how they can be applied to analyze complex manufacturing systems. The course will cover topics like discrete event simulation, statistical modeling, modeling elements of manufacturing systems, and using simulation to model different types of manufacturing systems like job shops and flexible systems. Students will learn how to design simulation experiments and select appropriate simulation software packages. The goal is for students to develop skills to design, implement, analyze, and critically understand simulation models and their output.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
The objective of this course is to give a sound knowledge of the fundamental aspects of system
simulation, which is used in the analysis of complex system and finds applications in a wide
range of real life situations. Modeling and Simulation of Manufacturing Systems course is
concerned with the concepts of system, system modeling and simulation, has been expanded to
include the details of types of models and simulation software. This course covers the
mathematical and statistical models. This course provides the knowledge of random number
generation and inverse transform techniques. This course also discusses the analysis of
simulation data and application of simulation system in manufacturing and material handling
systems
