Companies encounter numerous problems that are characterized by uncertainties for which they need to find a solution. Simulation provides a means for imitating the behaviour of real-life situations in a computer environment, allowing for "what-if" analyses of different scenarios. Hands-on experience in creating simulation models and obtaining reliable results for decision making with the use of different simulation techniques is gained.
Course Hours:
