Learning outcomes
Aim of subject:
Aim of subject is to give basic information about simulation approach to project management tasks mainly in logistics. During the lessons students will be work on projects which deals with real problems from basic areas of logistics such as transportation, storage and manufacturing. A tool used to find optimal solution will be software product Witness combined with data analysis in MS Excel environment.
