Lecturer
Dr. Robert Stahlbock
Course Dates
each Friday 1:00-5:00 p.m. (lecture and excercises)
The first course will be given in room no. 1006, Von-Melle-Park 5 on October 16, 2015.
Registration
In order to participate in this course it is obligatory to register in STiNE during the STiNE registration periods.
Course Evaluation
- exam
- successful participation in the tutorials (details to be announced during lecture)
Registration for the exams in STiNE well within the registration periods is mandatory (also for students who repeat the exam!).
Students in BSc. HDL are instructed to adhere to their deadlines!
The course deals with the use of simulation techniques in the fields of production and logistics. The focus of interest lies on various aspects of discrete event (computer-aided) simulation. In this context the following details are presented:
what is discrete event simulation and which application areas does it have?
how simulation experiments are carried out with appropriate tools,
how simulation studies can be carried out for application examples from the areas of production and logistics with a pre-selected simulation software.
Due to the cross-sectional nature of simulation, knowledge from various fields (production and logistics, operations research, mathematics/statistics, computer science) is included in the lecture.
A rough breakdown of the lecture can be given as follows:
- introduction
- random variables as inputs of simulation models
- event-oriented simulation studies
- modeling and simulatorssimulation-based optimization
- examples from the fields of production and logistics
learning objectives:
- Overview of possible technology applications
- Overview and understanding of the essential basics
- knowledge about risks and peculiarities of stochastic simulations
- knowledge about integrating simulation in production and logistics projects
- knowledge about interaction with other IT systems
course plan
In the lecture the theoretical basics are taught and practical problems are presented. In the exercises problems are handled with the help of the simulation software SIMIO.
Lecture notes and references will be provided during the semester via STiNE.
