Overview

Enterprise simulation is the process of building digital models of whole or part of an enterprise with process models, data models, resource models and/or new processes etc. Digital Twinning deals with the process of understanding an enterprise and improving its performance through creation of computer simulations.

Entry Requirements

Applicants must be 21 years of age. Applicants should have a Diploma at NFQ Level 7 of 90 ECTS minimum, in a Science, Engineering or Technical area, or otherwise prove that they satisfy the prerequisite of the module. Should an applicant not meet the standard entry criteria Recognition for Prior Learning (RPL) will be considered.

What you will Learn

This Micro-credential is based on knowledge of the enterprise, its infrastructure, technology and human resources.

Learning Outcomes:

Identify the fundamental concepts, principles and terminology used in Enterprise Modelling and Simulation.
Solve complex simulation problems by using simulation software packages (Simul8).
Evaluate the impact of process re-design, re-configuration of factories and automation using simulations and digital twins.
Identify, and rank in order of severity, the risks associated with modelling and simulation.

Course Outcomes
On successful completion of this micro-credential, you will receive credits as per the European Credit and Transfer System. These credits are recognised by the awarding institution as credits aligned to learning completed at undergraduate level 8.
