Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:	Nowadays, the analysis and improvement of nonlinear systems is impossible with classical industrial engineering methods. Delayed feedback systems exhibit complex behavior. Such systems can be analyzed and managed with the system dynamics approach. Industrial engineers aiming to increase the performance of the systems can benefit from the system dynamics.
Course Content:	System definition Systems and Complex Systems Simulation basics Discrete simulation with MS EXCEL Continuous simulation: System Dynamics in Action The Modeling Process Structure and Behavior of Dynamic Systems Causal Loop Diagrams Stocks and Flows Continuous simulation with VENSIM
