FlexSim in Academe: Teaching and Research

Part of the book series: EcoProduction ((ECOPROD))

Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to present the use of FlexSim software, which is predominantly used for simulation and optimization of business processes, in the area of scientific research and academic education at the level of diploma theses. The chapter consists of three parts. At first, competences for Industry 4.0 are introduced. Then, the use of FlexSim in the area of teaching, dissertations, and research is presented. Finally, there is demonstrated how the use of FlexSim software in the specified areas contributes to the development of competences for the Industry 4.0, named as C4I4.0.
