• Steps of a performance evaluation
• Discrete Event Systems Modeling

II. SOME TOOLS FOR THE MODELING AND THE ANALYSIS OF PRODUCTION SYSTEMS (16,5 hours):

• Markov Chains (2 hours)
  • Probability theory and stochastic processes
  • Continuous Markov chains - Definition, Modeling, Resolution

• Queueing networks (6,5 hours )
  • Generalities on queueing networks
  • Analysis of a single queue
  • Product form queueing networks - exact analysis
  • Some elements for the resolution of non product form queueing networks

• Petri nets (8 hours)
  • Presentation of the tool
  • Formalization and Dynamics
  • Qualitative properties
  • Some elements for the quantitative analysis

III. MODELING PHYSICAL FLOWS IN PRODUCTION SYSTEMS (4,5 hours):

• Bottleneck analysis
• Importance of stochastic phenomena

Basic Probability and Statistics

CC = Continuous assessment

E1 = Final written exam from the 1st exam period
E2 = Final written exam from the 2nd exam period

N1 = Final mark from the 1st exam period
N2 = Final mark from the 2nd exam period

N1=0,3*CC+0,7*E1
N2= E2

This weighting is compatible with a distant organization of teaching and exams.

N1 = 0,3*CC+0,7*E1

N2 = E2

Cette pondération est compatible avec une organisation des enseignements et des examens en distanciel
