ISE 4130 - Industrial Computer Simulation


Simulation of industrial engineering systems using discrete event simulation. Events definition and classification. Application of event modeling approaches: event graphs, entity life cycle diagram, pseudo-code. Process modeling approach to simulation using visual modeling tools. Coverage of basic (entities, processes, and resources), intermediate (queues, seize and release), and advanced (entity transport) modeling concepts. Planning of simulation experiments and statistical analysis of the results. Animation of simulated model. Application of simulation in manufacturing, production, and service areas. Lab projects using simulation software.
