Description
Process Modeling and Simulation is being increasingly called upon in order to efficiently reduce costs and increase throughput. This seminar will describe several different types of process simulation and how each can be used to effectively find and evaluate improvement alternatives. The sessions include both presentations and hands-on training using several of the commonly used simulation software packages.

Spreadsheet models, flowsheet simulators, finite capacity scheduling and discrete event simulation will be covered at an introductory level. Participants are encouraged to bring a laptop computer.

What You Will Learn

• Types of problems best solved with simulation techniques
• How simulation can be used to reduce operating costs or increase throughput
• Key pitfalls to watch out for on a modeling and simulation project
• Main benefits of using simulation over conventional engineering analyses
• Hands-on training with several modeling and simulation software packages
  

Who Should Attend
Individuals who are responsible for improving manufacturing operations, increasing throughput or cost reduction. Production engineers and plant management. Those considering building new biopharm manufacturing facilities or improving existing ones.
