Introduction to Discrete Event Simulation

Module overview

To create a Discrete Event Simulation (DES) model, it is important to first understand what simulations are. In this course, you'll discover the importance of building your model with a focus on specific problems it can solve or insights it can provide in order to accurately represent the real-world system being simulated.
