  • Simulation exercises

    The simulation exercises are carried out using the Simul8 software. Simul8 is a computer package for discrete event simulation. It enables to create a visual model of a given production process, analyzing the performance of the process and simulating alternative scenarios of improving the process. The Simul8 software requires a membership account which we will provide to all the registered students at this course. The software is compatible with Windows OS. For more information, see www.simul8.com.

    All the exercises are done in groups of two or three persons. All group members should enroll themselves before the fourth session of the course, on January 21st. To begin the simulation exercises, we provide you with a number of short videos regarding the features and capabilities of the Simul8 software. All the sessions take place remotely and through the Zoom platform. For the first two simulation exercises you have one week for the delivery of the solution report. In case of the third (final) simulation exercises we assigned two weeks for the development of a comprehensive solution and we expect a report that covers the solution reflecting the learnings from the case.

    Each group delivers weekly a short 2 to 5 pages written report as a solution for the first two completed simulation exercises. The report for the third simulation exercise is expected to be at least 5 pages long. The questions to be answered in the reports are published in the simulation cases. The solution reports for the simulation exercises must be delivered before the next exercise session (Monday at 8.00) to MyCourses. Late deliveries will not be graded except under extraordinary circumstances.
