Do you want to learn how to use simulation to improve complex industrial processes?
About the course
A production simulation is used to visualize the production of a certain product. It can be used to show how much the product is produced, which components are used and how long it takes to produce the product.
In this course, you will get an deep introduction to simulation tools used to improve complex production processes in the manufacturing industry. You learn to build a simulation model, simulate a production system and develop improvement scenarios. You will also be able to reflect on the use of simulation to improve a real industrial production process.
You will learn to
- Build a simulation model for a production system
- Simulate a production system and develop improvement scenarios
- Analyze different scenarios for improving a production process
The course is given with flexible start and study pace, but we recommend a study pace of 20%, which means that the course takes about 8 calendar weeks.
