Aim of the course

The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the method of computer simulation and familiarization with the techniques of building simulation models of processes and production systems. After completion of the course students should be able to use the selected software to simulate production processes (eg. Tecnomatix Plant Simulation, Enterprise Dynamics, Arena, etc.), model building (mapping the actual system in a form of a simulation model), Designing of simulation experiments and analysis of research results.

Prerequisites

Knowledge of basic production processes implemented in enterprises.

Scope

Computer simulation as a research method - introduction. Stages of the construction of a simulation model. Generating pseudorandom data based on various probability distributions. Basic objects needed to build the simulation model of the production system. Planning of a simulation experiment. Modelling and simulation of discrete manufacturing processes. Modelling and simulation of assembly processes. Analysis of the efficiency of utilization of production resources. Analysis of the efficiency of logistics processes and inventory levels of work in progress. Analysis of the effectiveness of employees on the basis of a simulation model of the production system.

Assignment conditions

Lecture - a written exam at the end of the semester.

Laboratory – final grade is the weighted sum of grades obtained for the completion of individual laboratory classes. The contribution of individual components of evaluation: grade for laboratories - 50%, grade for the lecture – 50%.

Final grade = 50 % of grade for lecture + 50 % of grade for project classes.
