Modeling and Simulation of Relocation of a Production in SIMPRO-Q Web Based Educational Environment

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to show the how to get new knowledge and skills through solving production relocation situations in a continuously changing global environment. The used methods model and simulate the related risks, using web based learning environment of Quality Management Role Play Simulation (SIMPRO-Q). The presented methods are applicable also in engineering education. During simulations, the role-players make both quantitative and qualitative decisions regarding management of critical situations during production relocation. Experiences from relocation production project in industry are discussed at the end of the paper.
