E-Learning Based Competence Development In Logistics Software Application For Simulation And Visualization.

Logistics is one of the areas where simulation and visualization software is typically applied in practical problem-solving processes. Precondition is sufficient knowledge and understanding on simulation methodology, but also on the syntax, functionality and applicability of professional software packages used. Within this context the paper addresses a learningwhile-working scenario presenting the idea and implementation of respective simulation-focused learning resources in a web-based portal. It elaborates simulation competence requirements in logistics, discusses design constraints concerning e-learning material to meet those requirements and gives examples on simulation knowledge representation and interactive knowledge application for logistics simulation and
