SySc 629 Business Process Modeling and Simulation

The primary focus is on the application of system simulation to process flow problems. Extend, a special-purpose computer simulation language, is used to develop models to describe and analyze both continuous and discrete flow processes in order to better understand bottlenecks and how to alleviate them. Such models are used to study, for example, manufacturing systems, business systems, and engineering systems. Students apply the concepts to projects within their fields of interest. Also offered as SySc 529 and may be taken only once for credit.
