During this 2-part workshop, attendees will be introduced to simulation of industrial systems and Simio, a commercial simulation and production planning and scheduling software. The presented workshop is composed of hands-on training and case study discussions, where simulation methodologies used by companies to design and operate manufacturing systems are shown.

Simio is a multi-paradigm modeling tool that incorporates the four different paradigms for discrete event simulation into a single framework

*Events
*Processes Objects
*Agent-based modeling

Simio offers capabilities to fully capture detailed constrains and variations while accounting for risk and uncertainty.
