Simulation at Harris
• As IE’s one of the courses you take is a Simulation
course, typically Arena
• Arena is playing in an important role in proposal and
high volume manufacturing line
• Great for presentations – helps visually demonstrate
potential bottleneck
• Information can be transferred to Excel, which makes
it user friendly for anyone!
