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
