Description

Version: 3.0 start 01 August 2021
 

Short description

 The Factory Physics module focuses on the dynamics of operational processes. The course analyses the various sources of variability in operational processes. For the mathematical description of these processes, models from queueing theory are used. The models are illustrated with practical examples.

Module contents

 The description and modelling of the dynamics of operational processes are the focus of this course. The different sources of variability in operational processes are analyzed. For the mathematical description of the processes models from the queueing theory are used. The models are illustrated with selected practical examples.

The module is structured as follows:
  • Introduction to dynamics of operational processes
  • Performance indicators and variability in operational processes
  • Queuing systems M/M/c and G/G/c, with/without priority rules; exact, analytical formulas and approximation formulas
  • Possibilities and limits of modeling with queues
  • Queuing systems with multiple products
  • Approaches to the reduction of variability
  • Selected case studies
