Learning Outcomes

"The students

- can analyze and evaluate simple logistical problems and questions in a stochastic environment (e.g. one or two machine models) using simulation software (e.g. AnyLogic software) (L3-L4).

- can create a simple simulation model based on company data (L6) and make statistically sound statements about the expected company key figures (lead time, inventory, delays and delivery reliability) (L4).

- can discuss the results critically and make decisions based on these or make recommendations to the company's management (L4-L5)."
