6 sections • 52 lectures • 9h 17m total length

Course Introduction1:46
Simulation Basics5:31
We talk about the application areas of simulation modelling, when to use simulation and how is simulation different from optimization.
Simulation for Design2:40
We discuss how simulation can be used to test ideas in a risk free space
Application Areas and Modelling methods7:54
Installing Anylogic1:37
Introducing the Anylogic Development Environment11:31
Understanding the Source Block17:27
Understanding the Effect of variability16:32
Often systems are designed considering only the average values of processing time and arrival frequency such as any production scheduling tool but this leads to an incorrect design. With help of simulation we see why it is so. One of the main advantage of simulation models is that it can consider the effect of uncertainty or variation in the system
Understanding the Queue Block25:52
Understanding ResourcePools9:16
Understanding Service Block2:58
Replace the siege delay and release blocks with a single service block in AnyLogic, set queue capacity, and define delay as 1.5 to 2.5 hours.

Introduction to Section20:32
Call Centre Part112:51
Call Centre Part2 - Automated Attendant and Slider Control10:22
Explore building a call center model with automated attendant routing (50/50 to automated system and operator) and a slider to optimize service level and abandonment.
Call Centre Part3 - Measuring time in system5:06
Call Centre Part4 - Optimisation Experiment16:07
In this last part of call centre model we make the OptQuest optimiser within Anylogic suggest the ideal number of Operators subject to a minimum service level constraint

Java Basics Part122:51
Java Basics Part233:54
More Anylogic Blocks Part111:23
In this and next two video lectures we will develop a small model using various new blocks including conveyor block from material handing library. In this model we will also add animation to our model.
More Anylogic Blocks Part216:38
More Anylogic Blocks Part317:07
Exercise Discrete Event Simulation1:31
Simulate a supply chain with discrete event simulation, using a reorder point and backorders, and plot inventory trend with lead time from order to delivery, noting stockouts.
Exercise DES Solution19:55

Airport Model Part1 using Space markup6:51
Airport Model Part2 adding pedestrians7:32
Add pedestrians with the PED source and define entry and gate target lines. Use 100 pedestrians per hour and the social force model for shortest paths around walls.
Airport Model Part3 adding animation components10:24
Airport Model Part4 adding Checkin Service (Exercise add Security Check)7:05
Airport Model Part5 adding waiting area8:20
Airport Model Part 6 Exercise4:27
Set up a 3d view area and startup navigation to it; model boarding with a boarding service and line, triggered by 90-minute flights, releasing waiting passengers via delay expiry.
Airport Model Part 6 Exercise Solution adding flight arrivals5:36
Airport Model Part7 Exercise2:26
Open a second security counter when the airport queue length exceeds 20 and close it when it drops to five, using the service security check block in AnyLogic.
Airport Model Part7 Exercise Solution open and close counters based on condition8:18
Airport Part8 adding seating area11:05
Add a seating area to the airport model using a rectangular area with attractors arranged in a grid to seat passengers when space is available, directing to the standing area.
Exercise: Adding COVID Spread in Airport0:47
Exercise solution: COVID Spread in Airport Part16:30

Exercise Solution: COVID Spread in Airport Part213:41
Warehouse Part115:46
Warehouse Part2 and DB Import15:05
Warehouse Part34:07
Create space markup elements such as rectangular home and billing nodes, connect racks with defined paths, and simulate workers picking order items and returning to home or billing areas.
Warehouse Part45:18
Warehouse Part59:51
Warehouse Part611:50
Learn to model warehouse picking in AnyLogic by seizing a resource, moving to ordered products, picking items with an iterator, and delivering to the billing area before sink.
Warehouse Part7 Accessing multiple levels16:14
Warehouse Part85:31
Demonstrates simulating warehouse picking in anylogic by modeling orders, nodes, and levels, and exploring parallel pickings, obstacles, and the new material handling library with transporter fleets and agvs.
Writing to Anylogic Database Tables and connecting to External DB22:07
Additional Resources3:01
