Objective Modeling and simulation are privileged tools for improving the performance of industrial systems. With the theoretical and practical knowledge gained in this compulsory course, students can effectively apply modeling and simulation as decision-making tools in industrial problems (especially problems based on complex systems). In this context, the objectives of the course are determined as follows:
- To provide students with basic knowledge about modeling and simulation and how modeling and simulation can be used in decision-making
- To provide students with an overview of how businesses can apply modeling and simulation approaches to industrial problems (especially those based on complex systems)
- To enable students to learn simulation tools on a computer

Course Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to;
1. Acquire and interpret basic knowledge about planning, designing, modeling, and managing complex industrial systems and their applications in industry.
2. Model a system for the study of complex industrial engineering problems, analyze the system, perform manual simulations and interpret the results obtained.
3. To be able to take a real industrial problem with teamwork and design a detailed experiment, model the system, collect data, solve the problem using a simulation tool and analyze and interpret the results obtained.
4. Analyze real problems/cases related to modeling and simulation, perform manual simulation, analyze and interpret the results.
