2   To be able to distinguish simulation techniques on management processes
3   To be able to use statistical and analytical skills on applications of the simulation.
4   To be able to use application softwares
5   To be able to understand differences between discrete and continuous simulation.
6   To be able to expose the relationship between simulation and statistics.
7   To be able to generate data and to obtain data distribution.
8   To be able to set simulation models and scenarios and to interpret results.
9   To be able to constitute concept and applications of simulation.
