This course gives an introduction into the planning and optimization of human work procedures in industry as a basis for the determination of personnel requirements. By using Methods of Time Management (MTM) it is shown, how work procedures are modelled in the different abstracted layers.MTM is the benchmark for time in process elements - an international standard.

The students learn the application of the event-based and computer-based simulation for layout and improvement of production facilities by means of practical examples and by using the so-called «Digital Twin» within the context of «Industry 4.0». They learn how virtual and mixed reality tools can be used together with the Digital Twin to plan and support the operation of a production line.

The students learn the usage of the event-driven Simulation for layout and operational optimisation of production lines by means of practical examples.
