in Manufacturing Simulation ProjectsAbstractSimulation is a core course for many Manufacturing Engineering related programs. This courseintroduces discrete event simulation methods with emphasis on application in manufacturingsystems or service systems. The topic of queueing theory in operations research is used to illustratethe importance of simulation as a problem-solving tool. Concepts and techniques of simulationmodeling are covered. It also requires statistical concepts and techniques to obtain representativedata, to apply the data and statistics to the modeling, and evaluate the results. To help the courselearning, term projects are usually assigned to the students. The authors have been teaching thiscourse
