Simulation, experimentation, and optimization are the core technologies used by organizations to improve production output and decrease associated costs. With Flexsim Simulation Software, end-users can create a computerized 3-dimensional model that behaves like the actual system it represents. A simulation model of any manufacturing or material handling system or process can be created using Flexsim's drag and drop model building objects. Flexsim can determine the capacity of an entire plant, a single manufacturing line, or warehouse. Flexsim can balance labor and equipment requirements. Flexsim can be used to manage bottlenecks, solve excessive work-in-process problems, justify capital expenditures, establish proper inventory levels, improve order picking systems, and optimize production rates. The power and beauty of Flexsim is that your ideas for improving a process can be simulated, tested, and justified prior to implementing them in the actual system. The results of each simulation can be analyzed graphically through 3D animation, and through statistical reports and graphs, which are both excellent for communicating a model's purpose and results to both technical and non-technical audiences alike.
Roughly half of all Fortune 500 companies use Flexsim, including

In working with companies over the past decade, one characteristic that always surfaces in those companies that have been well managed over time is a "bias for action." They are companies always looking for methods, people, and tools that will help them improve what they do and how they do it. Simulation is the single most pragmatic behavior that innovative companies can apply to improving their ongoing processes. It's both a tool and practice that has the potential to immediately generate a two, ten, or hundred-fold return. We invite you to use Flexsim and begin to realize these amazing benefits of simulation.

Supply chain simulation is a process that saves a lot of people a lot of time. In any sort of manufacturing environment, the flow of supplies is as (if not more) important than just about any other factor. Both people and machines need the right resources in order to be able to do their jobs in the most efficacious manner.
Supply chain simulation demonstrates the ways in which a system of distributing supplies might be lacking. One can see how supplies are dispersed, and figure out places at which the flow of supplies could be improved. Bottlenecks are often hard to spot when designing a production system without the use of simulation software.
Simulating supply distribution is not only a valuable process, but a very easy one as well--provided you're dealing with the right company. At
