Course detail
Simulation, Planning and Scheduling in Manufacturing
FSI-VSP-K Acad. year: 2019/2020 Summer semester
The aim of the course is to provide students with the practical knowledge in the field of modern methods for the simulation, planning and scheduling of production systems. The application of both simulation methods and APS to designing and controlling discrete systems and processes is analysed, from the point of view of a strategic planning and operational control. Modern simulation and APS software products are used in the lessons.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Credit requirements: Participation in the exercises and the elaboration of semester work are required.
Examination: the examination consists of an oral and written part.
Aims
The aim of the course is to provide students with the practical knowledge in the field of modern methods for the simulation and modelling of production systems. It focuses primarily on technological processes and manufacturing systems and applies the principles of discrete simulation for their modelling. The application of simulation methods to designing and controlling discrete systems and processes is analysed, in the field of a strategic planning and operational control. Both modern simulation and APS software products are used in the lessons. New methods and approaches are explained by means of examples and by solving industrial planning and sheduling problems. The course will familiarise students with the given field and provide them with instructions for solving particular problems. The seminars will focus on solving particular issues raised by the students.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Lessons are completed according to the FSI schedule. Missed lessons can be individually compensated.
