Simulation software explained

The best solution for now, and the future

What is simulation? Nowadays, the economy requires a fast and flexible reaction to the market. Customer demands become more and more dynamic and unpredictable. It is hard to tell how your logistics system reacts to future changes. You might want to know what the best solution is for now, but also for the future. This is hard to predict with static calculations, because systems have a lot of dependences, that are not static. The only tool that can analyze and improve these complex and dynamic systems, is simulation.

What is simulation | The model represents the system itself

Simulation is the imitation of the operation of a real-world process or system over time. The act of simulating something first requires that a model be developed; this model represents the key characteristics or behaviors of the selected physical or abstract system or process. The model represents the system itself, whereas the simulation represents the operation of the system over time. (Wikipedia.)

What is simulation? Why would you need simulation?

  • Remove Waste

    By analyzing a system in a well-made simulation model, you are given access to relevant data that will aid in discovering and removing waste.

  • Increase Revenue

    Simulation allows you to tweak and test important facets of your business, and determine which changes will optimize your system and increase revenue.

  • Sell Ideas

    Advanced 3D graphics can help management or clients visualize the environment and buy into a new system or a proposed change.

  • The right tool

    You don’t drive a nail with a screw driver, and you don’t use a spreadsheet as simulator software.

Talumis uses the world’s best Simulation Software: FlexSim

FlexSim is powerful yet easy-to-use software for simulation. A comprehensive and innovative simulation engine is hidden behind drag and drop controls, drop-down lists and many other intuitive features that make it accessible for anyone to experiment with a model. All simulation models are created to scale and are presented using 3D visuals, making it easy to watch the virtual system go through its daily operations and visually observe which elements are lacking in efficiency. FlexSim also gives decision makers the tools to confirm their observations, with impressive statistical reporting and analysis built right into the software.
