Simulation Modeling for Logistics and Manufacturing Facilities
Course Objective
This course is especially designed for executives responsible for improving and optimizing the
Logistics and Manufacturing operations of their companies. The participants would find the contents
state-of-the-art, and the course helpful in becoming proficient in not only simulation model building,
but also in using it as part of an operations/process improvement study.
During the course, the participants would have the opportunity to apply their newly acquired
simulation knowledge to build and analyze simulation models. They would also be exposed to some
real-life case studies to illustrate the model-building concepts learned.
Course Content
The course consists of two modules, namely discrete event simulation modeling, and Simulation life
cycle analysis
The bulk of the time in the course is spent on discrete event simulation modeling. This module
covers, in detail, simulation model building aspects of discrete systems (such as manufacturing and
logistics facilities, supply-chains). In this module we also demonstrate how computer simulation is
used to successfully model, analyze and improve systems under study. Simulation software
(ARENA) is used to demonstrate building and executing the models.
The second module covers the simulation life cycle analysis, and goes over issues like model
verification and validation. It also looks into the statistical analysis of simulation model output.
Topics covered during the course include:

Fundamental modeling concepts (resources, entities, attributes etc.).

Discrete event simulation: basic building blocks. Constructs in the simulation language to
support simulation of real-life systems.

Advanced model-building concepts.

System life cycle analysis, Simulation validation and verification.

Simulation as a decision-support tool.

Supply-chain modeling.

Manufacturing and Logistics case studies.
Who Should Attend
This course is designed for executives in manufacturing and logistics industries responsible for
improving and optimizing the operations of their companies. The course is especially helpful for
inventory control managers, manufacturing or process engineers or other support executives in the
logistics, supply-chain management or production/manufacturing functions of their organizations.
