Topic: Applications of Simulation in Supply Chain Management: Inventory, Transportation and System Dynamics

Date and Time: Wednesday, November 1, 2024 at 9:30 AM EST

Description: Industrial simulation is a powerful tool employed across various sectors to model and replicate real-world manufacturing processes, systems, or operations within a virtual environment. By mimicking the intricacies of production lines, supply chains, or logistical workflows, industrial simulations enable organizations to optimize their processes, improve decision-making, and enhance overall efficiency. These simulations incorporate factors like machinery behavior, resource allocation, and demand fluctuations, allowing businesses to test different scenarios, identify bottlenecks, and fine-tune their operations without the risks and costs associated with real-world experimentation.

Course leads Paulo Sousa Jr. and Miguel Rodriguez Garcia will host Yashar Ahmadov, a Simulation Data Scientist at Amazon, and introduce you to the Agent-Based Simulations, their strengths and applications in inventory management, transportation management and system dynamics. This event will feature a live Q&A session, so bring your questions about simulations in SCM, the MicroMasters Program, and anything in between!

What will you gain?

The MITx MicroMasters program credential showcases your end-to-end understanding of supply chain management. The credential offered by MITx and edX is an advanced, professional, graduate-level foundation in Supply Chain Management. Five courses and a final comprehensive exam represent the equivalent of one semester of coursework at MIT. These online courses offer the same rigor and relevance as the material taught on campus. With these courses, you will become the person people turn to when they want answers.

Boost your resume and on-the-job skills, or apply to a Master's

Boost your skills at work or build on the credential to apply to MIT’s #1-ranked Supply Chain Management Master’s Degree program. This "blended learning" program brings the successful MicroMasters program applicant to the MIT campus from January through June. Students earn the same degree as our full-time Master’s students and graduate together in June. The MicroMasters credential is also a pathway to complete a Master’s Degree either on-campus or fully online at many other universities recognizing credentials.
