The Start of New Academic Year with New Curriculum
Starting New Class of System Modeling 2012
This week at Universitas Indonesia, is the start of a new academic year 2012/2013. In the Industrial Engineering Department, this is also the start of new curriculum design that has been discuss for over year. The new curriculum emphasizes on the engineering design side of industrial engineering. This emphasize naturally requires more modeling support from the SEMS lab.
Based on the new curriculum, on the optimization track we have the basic: linear programming class, the core: operations research, the advance: advanced optimization (e-lective). For what-if track, we have discrete event modeling courses: systems modeling and industrial simulation, and in continuous event modeling courses: systems thinking and systems dynamics (e), converging into advanced modeling course (e) which discuss simulation gaming, object-oriented and agent-based modeling. All the course would have lab practice component embedded in the delivery.
SEMS Lab New Academic-Year Gathering 2012
Posted by systems in Lab Development Program, News on 03/09/2012
To start the new academic year of 2012/2013, we invite new graduates, current lab assistants and researchers SEMS Lab for lab gathering and discuss lab preparation with the new curriculum this year. The new curriculum relies more lab activities that require scheduling of resources in the lab. However, after the long holiday it is also a place when we all could get together and catch-up of the news.
Prof Martin Kunc Seminar & Discussion on SD

Professor Martin Kunc from Warwick Business School, The University of Warwick, UK, has spare his time to visit SEMS lab during his time in Indonesia. The visit purpose is sharing knowledge and research opportunities regarding the use of System Dynamics (SD) in Strategy, and open up future collaborations with SD practitioners in Indonesia.
The session starts with a discussion on one of his paper regarding the implementation of system dynamics model on tackling human resource issues in a professional service firms (Kunc, M. Achieving a balanced organizational structure in professional services firms: some lessons from a modeling project. Systems Dynamics Review 24, 2008). The discussion is the followed by a short presentation on possible research directions on System Dynamics based on resource based strategic view.
Welcoming New IEUI Students 2012
We are welcoming the new Industrial Engineering Universitas Indonesia (IEUI) students Class of 2012 to our lab. With 120 new students, this would be the biggest class IE would ever have. It shows the growing recognition and acceptance of Industrial Engineers in the public and in the industry. As part of departments of introductory sessions, the new students are shown to the various laboratories in IEUI. 
We explain to them how the SEMS lab would help them in their 3 primary tasks of designing, improving and installing a complex system. We also show some of the modeling approaches to them, such as system dynamics, optimization, agent based modeling and discrete event modeling. We also explains to the various game boards that we design or re-created.
SEMS at System Dynamics Conference 2012 St.Gallens
Posted by systems in Conference, News, Research Area, Serious Simulation Gaming SSG, Sustainable Industrial Policy on 05/08/2012
Aziiz Sutrisno, our researcher, was attending the 2012 System Dynamics Conferen 2012, St. Gallen, Switzerland. The Conference was hosted by University of St.Gallen He presented poster presentation on SEMS research of Using simulation of Indonesian electricity dynamics for enhance learning environment.
He had an opportunity to meet with SD Gurus, which includes John Sterman, Peter Milling, Yaman Barlas, Kaoru Yamaguchi, Erling Moxnes and many more. They all conveys their warmest greetings to all SD Practitioners in Indonesia (below pictures).
Aziiz was excited to find that the conference itself is an eye-opening event. As a lot of new insights and ideas are being discussed starting from conceptualization in climate change problem, New paradigm in looking at stock and flow behavior, Proposed new economy approach to solve European sovereign debt problem, discrete system dynamics in reconfigurable manufacturing system and many more.
In the last day, conference committee arranged SD workshop sessions. These sessions became icing on top of the conference, as it enrich SD practitioners with wide range of new tools and conceptual approach to enhance the usage of system dynamics
