 Contents:

• Introduction 
• Questionnaire
   
• Evaluation
   
• Summary
• Simulations language
   
• Demo-Database
   

 Topic:

 with the following key points:

• Simulation
• Discrete time system
• Simulation of Material flow
• Simulation and Factory planning

 Initiator:

Univ.- Prof. Dipl.- Ing. A. Reinhardt, Uni Gh-Kassel

 Motivation:

To get the overview of training activities on above mentioned topics in the German environment. Here one should respect the use of VDI recommendations 3633 for the structure, as well as the contents of topics for the lectures.

Goal:

Communication forums for all instructors to exchange concepts, experiences & also free simulation tools, eg:- in a trade symposium
Here, the further goals are also noted, a common basis, for example:- to come up with the use of VDI recommendations 3633 as a course guide.

Procedure:

1. Determination from the speaker in the University (and enterprise)
2. Write to this speaker and ask for the concerned topics in the lectures / in the course
3. Formulation of questionnaire, whose structure is as per the VDI recommendations.
4. Send the questionnaire to the speaker.
5. Evaluate and send back the questionnaire
6. Presentation in a ASIM conference.

General Statistics 

Out of the 263 persons, approximately 30% answered. The discrepancy between the well know addresses and dispatched questionnaires resulted from the fact that only well known lecturers were written down.

Basics:

Nearly all the lecturers are called. This is usually in the introduction meetings about simulation. Most of the persons are new to the topics on modelling methods and simulation concepts. It is remarkable to note that the real time control system (coupling real time model) receives very little attention.
