Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

The course aims to acquaint students with the methods of discrete simulation, which can be used to solve real problems in the field of logistics and planning of logistics systems. The student is acquainted with the basic theoretical principles of discrete simulation, including basic methods of statistical data processing for simulation. The student also gains practical experience working with simulation software Witness. After completing this course, the student should be able to apply these approaches to solve simple real problems in the field of logistics.

Summary

Discrete simulation is a robust tool for solving a number of problems in technical practice, when classical analytical methods fail. The content of the course is focused on gaining a theoretical basis for discrete simulation, as well as on gaining practical experience in creating discrete simulation models of selected problems from logistics using Witness software.
