Systems Modeling and Simulation
EDUCATION & Certificate Program
Education for improving Business by leveraging Systems Modeling & Simulation
SMS_ThinkTank™ is proud to offer the Systems Modeling and Simulation (SMS) Education and Certificate program. The SMS Education and Certificate Program leverages SMS_ThinkTank’s assessment-based educational framework and satisfies the Systems Modeling and Simulation education requirements from small to large enterprises. The SMS Education and Certificate Program is delivered through a series of education modules. The program is designed to ensure that those involved in a systems modeling and simulation project have a strong understanding of systems modeling and simulation concepts and industry best-practices.
SMS_ThinkTank™ is internationally known for their expertise in the Systems Modeling and Simulation disciplines including the Digital Twin, Industry 4.0 and related simulation areas to provide the most comprehensive non-biased education and training offering for today’s business and engineering professionals tasked with establishing model-based approaches in support of the larger digital transformation initiatives of their organization.
The education and certificate program is available to industrial companies who are considering, evaluating, implementing, and/or enhancing their systems modeling and simulation capabilities, as well as to software and service providers. The SMS Education and Certificate Program has been designed to be industry independent. However, industry-specific content (e.g., process discussions, examples, and cases studies) can be easily added if the program is being delivered to a specific company or industry group.
The education modules described herein leverage a common systems engineering and product data model that encompasses benefits, requirements, platform, program, project, system definition, product structure, lifecycle, and configuration-management capabilities. These are key enablers to achieve higher systems modeling maturity levels and, in turn, help a company reach and maintain a highly competitive position within the industries it serves. Innovation leaders realize that accurate and accessible data is the foundation for insight and inspiration. They also realize that it is critical to recognize that the surrounding ecosystem with its culture and behaviors must be brought into play. This is foundational to defining and achieving sustainable innovation.

Course Delivery
A team of internationally experienced, senior level SMS_ThinkTank consultants will deliver all course material in English. They are customized based on the delivery format and targeted audience. The formats available are:
- On-site workshops: The lecturers are onsite at the hosting organization for this training following a workshop style format. Note – Based on the current Covid-19 situation this format might not be available.
- Virtual-live workshops: The lecturers are presenting and interacting with the students through live sessions using a workshop style format.
- Synchronous / asynchronous course delivery: The students can go through the course material at their own pace over an allocated period of time. The material is provided online through recorded lectures and text. In addition, synchronous (live) sessions with the students are scheduled to allow for interactive discussion of the course materials.
We also offer classes through our partners Ohio State University SIMCenter and CIMdata. While the content is fundamentally the same for both partners, the difference is in the delivery. The program offered through OSU SIMCenter is the extended online-hybrid version of a course typically offered live by SMS_ThinkTank™. This instructor-led course is a blend of asynchronous delivery with several synchronous meetings. This online-hybrid delivery model will allow the participants to watch the lectures on their own schedule and actively participate in live discussions with fellow learners.
