LSCM 4550 - Logistics Systems Modeling/Simulation

3 hours

Introduces MKTG and LSCM systems modeling and simulation approaches for logistics and supply chain management. Modeling includes the physical, mathematical or otherwise logical representation of a system, entity, phenomenon or process, and simulation is a method for implementing a model over time in an effort to design, test, or analyze a “real-world” system. Modeling tools are used with a focus on a general purpose and a specialization with specific software tools (i.e., SIMIO). Along with individual assignments, students work in groups partnered with industry to build a simulation that addresses a “real-world” problem.
