Introducing Simio Version 16.255 – October 2023

Want to learn what Simio has been up to?

The Simio Development and Product teams have been hard at work since the last release. Our goal is to continuously identify and deliver functionality that will expand the depth and breadth of the Simio platform, improve the quality of our products, and enhance the overall user experience. Below are highlights about some of the new functionality offered in the 16.255 release.

• Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning (DDMRP) with Example (RPS, Partner, and Academic Editions Only): This feature also known as DDMRP, revolves around strategically placed stock positions called buffers that decouple demand from supply. These inventory buffers are comprised of three color-coded zones: Green, Yellow, and Red. Simio now includes four DDMRP calculators: Average Daily Usage, Decoupled Lead Times, Buffer Zone Sizes, and Qualified Spike Demand.


• Source Control Enhancements: Simio now allows processes to be saved into their individual XML files to facilitate collaboration between modelers working on the same process by providing separate files for add-on processes. There is also an option to reduce the amount of information written in the save history, improving efficiency in source control management.


• Data Table Categorization: Users can assign categories to data tables for easier organization and navigation.


• Network Element Enhancements - Shortest Paths: Four new properties have been added to the Network element to enhance modeling capabilities, allowing for more complex network setups.


• Material Usage Log Expression Evaluation Enhancements: Custom expression columns can now access various attributes and table values related to material usage.


• Network Element Enhancements: Several user-requested features have been added, including setting network membership via data tables and exposing the Global Network.
