    At the end of the course, a certificate will automatically be generated. Good luck and enjoy your course!

  • Required Previous Knowledge

    Required knowledge to fully understand this module is knowledge about variability, arrival processes, customer behaviour and single-skill systems, all at practitioner level.

    You can test this knowledge in the following quiz. You have to pass this quiz in order to continue with the rest of this course.

  • Introduction

    In this section, we discuss the effects of scale, why not all agents should be multi-skilled and which other advantages of multi-skilled flexibility there are. We also look at why simulation is used, and which problems these simulations introduce.
