Simulation, Planning and Scheduling in Manufacturing (FSI-VSP)

Academic year 2023/2024
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Simeon Simeonov, CSc.  
Supervising institute: ÚAI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
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.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Practice experiences and knowledge in the field of Planning, Scheduling and Simulation are obtained from students. Students are able to build simulation model and use this one to solve various planning and design problems using modern interactive simulation and APS tools.
Prerequisites:
Random variables and probability distribution, information processing.
Course contents:
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.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline.
Exercises are aimed to practical application of lecture contents.
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.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Lessons are completed according to the FSI schedule. Missed lessons can be individually compensated.
