Design and simulation of manufacturing systems

Course Description: The course covers simulation fundamentals, manual simulation, basic process and input modeling, output analyzers, and detailed process modeling. It also includes statistical analysis of terminating simulations, statistical analysis of non-terminating simulations, steady-state modeling, steady-state analysis, and material handling systems. Additionally, the course includes case studies, discussions, and group project presentations.

Credit hours: 3

Objectives of the course :

The course objectives are as follows:
Provide students with a fundamental understanding of production and manufacturing processes using simulation.
2. Enable students to use standard software (ARENA) to simulate manufacturing and production processes.
3- To equip students with knowledge of the fundamentals of modeling and simulation.
4. Enable students to evaluate process performance based on cycle time, work in process, and throughput level.
