  • black board, lecture notes, presentations

Learning Content:

  • single server systems: M/M/1, M/G/1: priority rules, model of failures
  • networks: open and closed approximations, exact solutions and approximations
  • application to flexible manufacturing systems, AGV (automated guided vehicles) - systems
  • modeling of control approaches like constant work in process (ConWIP) or kanban
  • discrete-time modeling of queuing systems

Learning Goals:

Students are able to:

  • Describe queueing systems with analytical solvable stochastic models,
  • Derive approches for modeling and controlling material flow and production systems based on models of queueing theory,
  • Use simulation and exakt methods.

Recommendations:

  • Basic knowledge of statistic
  • Recommended compusory optional subject: Stochastics
  • Recommended lecture: Materials flow in logistic systems (also parallel)

Workload:

  • regular attendance: 42 hours
  • self-study: 198 hours
