1. Describe the system you are modelling and the nature of the problems that you intend to solve.
Modelling and Simulation for Operations Management (2019 MOD002665 TRI2 F01CHE)
Select a system you are familiar with and where you can obtain sufficient data to carry out an in depth simulation modelling and validation exercise. Students are encouraged to use relevant projects from their work area. Those students who cannot bring a project of their own can use one of the case studies provided by the tutor.

Intended learning outcomes for the assessment
Understand the key requirements of a supply chain system and determine the data required to construct a model of the supply chain. Evaluate the various supply chain or logistic systems available and compare the economic and transit times of the systems. Construct a valid simulation model of a supply chain system. Evaluate and optimise the performance of a supply chain model.
