Discrete Event Simulation training - 2 days - private or in-company bookings only
Discrete Event Simulation training uk
Discrete Event Simulation is a tried and tested technique which allows for easy modelling of real systems. It has relevance at the business process or factory-production-line level, for intermediate decision support and training and also at the strategic level.
Discrete Event Simulation Training Course Objectives
This Discrete Event Simulation course provides intense training in either of two contemporary tools Extend or Showflow. The aim is to provide real skills in practical modelling through instruction, examples and exercises. Model building nowadays is through animated (2D or 3D) interfaces which speeds up build and means that users do not have to be programmers.
Animation also means that output is tangible and that models are easy to validate. Business Process Maps and Models can easily be converted into dynamic simulations which take and feed information from databases or spreadsheets for What-If analysis, Reengineering, Process Change, Prototyping and Process Improvement.
