SIMULATION MODELING AND ANALYSIS
Introduction to simulation modeling and analysis techniques with application to production, logistics, service, and other systems. Emphasis on model building, application of basic statistical data analysis, and the use of simulation for design, evaluation, and improvement of such systems. Introduction to available software. Case studies.
