Forecasting Production Resources With Simulation Software

The Simio solution provides an agile platform to develop Adaptive Process Digital Twins that can be deployed online or offline for both predictive and prescriptive applications to facilitate comprehensive digital transformation and process re-engineering initiatives.

Simio Enterprise Edition software with scheduling functionality includes a patented risk-based planning and scheduling (RPS) functionality that integrates traditional planning and scheduling features with stochastic modeling for risk analysis.

Simio’s scheduling software provides planners and schedulers with a customized interface for generating schedules, performing risk and cost analysis, investigating potential improvements, and viewing 3D animations. Gantt charts make it easy to see the timing of processes, and to explore how changes in equipment or employees affect that timing.

Users of Simio software, such as BAE Systems, can run simulations whenever system downtime, employee availability or other factors change, resulting in a “finger on the pulse” awareness that enables quick adjustments and aids confident decision-making.

Simio Enterprise Edition software with scheduling functionality helped BAE Systems meet production deadlines and now is used for a variety of forecasting and scheduling challenges including decreasing overtime, developing training goals, writing proposals, and evaluating capital investments.
