Operations & Info Management 321 - Business Process Simulation

Computer simulation presented for carrying out trial-and-error experiments on computer approximations of real, management systems. The goal is to 1) validate a new idea quickly, 2) diagnose potential product design problems, 3) optimize performance of complex systems, and 4) learn about something complex. The Arena environment, based on the SIMAN language, used to build models and video game-like animations.

Open to students with majors in the Isenberg School of Management Pre Req: OIM 301 OIM majors and non-OIM Isenberg majors should monitor the course via Spire for seat availability. Students who add themselves to the Spire waitlist should ensure they do not enroll in a course that conflicts with this course or are enrolled in a max number of credits. Please note that for all OIM courses, the Department utilizes the Spire waitlist. The Registrar will stop promoting students on the Spire waitlist about one week prior to the beginning of classes. Once the Spire waitlist is no longer functional, you will need to monitor the class and self-enroll if a seat becomes available.
