Introduction  Goal:  Understand how OR contributes in solving some industrial problems characterized by the stochastic conditions  Outcome:  Enable to model some stochastic situations  Enable to solve some stochastic model  Understand the basic of simulation

Why concern on stochastic?  Some facts:  Shop-floor condition is seldom stable for more than half an hour (McKay et al, 1995)  We can never predict demand for a product accurately  Although preventive maintenance is done, we can never eliminate the occurrence of machine breakdown  Due to the process variability, the processing time is seldom constant  etc  The only certainty in the real world is uncertainty
