FlexSim Factory Simulation Webinar Series: From Assumptions to Validations
Manufacturing decisions often involve uncertainty: Will a new layout meet throughput targets? Is additional equipment really needed? Where is the true bottleneck? What staffing or scheduling changes will improve performance?
Join this 4-part factory simulation webinar series to explore how simulation can help manufacturing teams evaluate alternatives, understand operational trade-offs, and reduce risk before making changes or investments.
These sessions are application-led and designed around real manufacturing questions. Each 30-minute session will share practical ideas, decision frameworks, and a clear path toward evaluating your own operational challenge with Drawbridge.
What you can expect from each sessions:
Week | Date and time | Session | What it covers |
1 | 8 October 2026, 11:00 - 11:30am | Why Discrete-Event Simulation Matters | Explore why variability, interdependency, and time can make factory performance difficult to predict - and why static analysis alone may not reveal the full picture. Learn when simulation can help teams test operational decisions before disrupting the real process. |
2 | 15 October 2026, 11:00 - 11:30am | 5 Manufacturing Decisions You Can De-Risk With Simulation | Five concrete decisions - capacity, layout, equipment, staffing and bottlenecks and the evidence to de-risk each. |
3 | 22 October 2026, 11:00 - 11:30am | Validate Process Optimisation Before You Invest | How manufacturers validate layouts, material flow, and investment decisions before implementation. Follow a journey from data gathering and process understanding through model development, validation, insights, and decision-making. |
4 | 29 October 2026, 11:00 - 11:30am | From Insight to Action | Learn how to identify a strong first use case, define success criteria, assess data readiness, and determine the right next step for your organisation. See how Drawbridge supports customers as a simulation and improvement partner- not simply as a software reseller. |
