LABORATORIES
 6 weeks are used to teach students the basic elements of Flexsim. Students
work in teams to develop a Flexsim simulation of a fairly simple process. This
requires significant direct observation, some statistical analysis of the data
collected, development of a simulation model, and conversion of the model to
