Factory Simulation
Manufacturing Simulation is the computer-based modeling of a real production system. Inventory, assembly, transportation and production can all be considered within a simulation model, resulting in decisions that can maintain or improve efficiency at the lowest possible cost.
What are the industries that simulation can be applied for?
-
Manufacturing
-
Material Handling
-
Healthcare
-
Warehousing
-
Supply Chain
What is Discrete Event Simulation (DES)?​
​
A model generates events, which drive the simulation. An event is something that will change the model at a specific time. All events are placed on the event list, which sorts events chronologically. As the simulation runs, the clock time increases. When the clock time matches the next event time, that event updates the model and is removed from the list.
