MGMT 4700 - Operations Simulation

Simulation is a managerial technique that imitates the operations of a real or planned system. It is applied in the analysis and improvement of system operations involving uncertainty and interactions between system components. It has been widely used by both manufacturing and service firms to evaluate effectiveness of operations strategies. This course introduces students to development, validation, and use of computer-based simulation models using software such as General Purpose Simulation language (GPSS/H). Students will use simulation approach to evaluate improvements in production/service systems.
