Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course gives an overview on using different simulation techniques to enhance planning and improvement of processes and systems behind public and non-profit organizations. Students learn about the principal functionality of simulation methods including their benefits and drawbacks. The course focuses on the techniques of system dynamics and discrete event simulation including several practical workshop examples elaborated by students. We also briefly discuss agent-based simulation. To demonstrate the wide application area of discrete event simulation policy models combined with optimization techniques, we present an example in the emergency medical management field regarding scheduling of mass casualty incidents for ambulance services such as the Austrian Samaritan Organization at the incident site. We use this disaster policy model as a management game for students in a workshop setting. Therefore, students learn essential lessons on emergency disaster management, scheduling emergency patients, and training emergency staff at ambulance services. For investigating further application areas, students present and write a course paper on the improvement of process man-agement by different and even hybrid simulation approaches in selected fields of public and non-profit management in an international context (e.g., education, environment, energy, health care, disaster, recreation).This course is interlinked with practice by giving the students the opportunity to join meetings of the forum of health eco-nomics (gesundheitspolitisches Forum): http://www.gesundheitspolitischesforum.at/ or ÖGOR meetings (e.g., health care, disaster management, energy): https://oegor.wordpress.com/
