Aims and Fit of Module


            

Learning outcomes

A. Develop process maps to describe the operations of a system.
B. Develop a computer simulation model to represent the operations of a system.
C. Understand and critically apply the decisions required to support the optimal
operations of a company.

Method of teaching and learning

The module is delivered through a series of lectures on the principles of simulation and modelling, followed by lab sessions providing students with hands on experience with building a software-based simulation model. The labs will be based on the use of a data driven discrete event simulator with an extensive library of processes.
Students are required to complete a mini project as the assessment.
Students will be provided with the training manuals in addition to short training videos developed by the module tutor.
