Course Overview

This subject aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills to:

 

  • model manufacturing and service systems using software and simulation techniques.
  • improve and enhance systems’ operational performance by simulation and data analysis.

 

This subject provides an introduction to fundamental concepts of system modelling and simulation. Topics include basic model development, input analysis, modelling and statistical analysis. A simulation software is extensively used as a vehicle to enhance the understanding and practical applications of the subject.
