F09_MIS304_BUSINESS_PROCESS_MODELLING_&_SIMULATION+(EA)

Semester:
Fall 2009

Instructor:
Erum Abassi

Program:
BBA (MIS)

Course Description
One of the core skills a technically oriented manager is required to possess in a business is to fully comprehend the system of operations and information flows in the organization and then take decisions based on certain implicit or explicit models he is required to develop for relating things together. The more advanced or complex the nature of the organization and its operations is, the more demanding is the technical skill for system and process modeling. The course highlights Business System Modeling using linear, non-linear dynamic programming, PERT, CPA, inventory models, forecasting models, regression analysis, queuing theory, simulation, transportation models, assignment models, Markov chain and simulation & implementation of business models.
