"Simulation gives you a better sense of what could be with any proposed design. It lets you leverage real-world data and create a system with a degree of realism that you can count on as you consider options. You'll get a 3D representation of what to expect with data to back it up."

Use simulation to answer questions about your system before it's built—before you spend time, money or energy implementing a material handling system, a work flow process or revising IT platforms. You can confirm expectations, play with throughput rates, change timing, and work to find a better way by laying out ideas with real data before you commit to expensive changes or new material handling systems. Analyze your investment, find issues in the process, or create justifications.
When it comes to warehousing and manufacturing investments, sometimes you need to communicate the solutions to others in your organization who aren't familiar with the operation. Simulation is ideal for that. It lets you experiment with alternatives and understand the differences in ideas. You can help executives who aren't involved in fulfillment visualize a solution they might not otherwise understand.
Simulation is a living blueprint of your current or proposed system that you can use to answer questions—or create new ones as your understanding increases. It's a window into your future operation that reduces the risks while helping you to analyze and plan more accurately. It's also great for helping find the true costs of changes and to minimize risk as you move ahead. It provides detailed statistics and authentic data to help guide decisions grounded in reality.
Simulation helps eliminate guesswork by capturing the variables and presenting the most accurate picture of current conditions or proposed changes.
Cisco-Eagle uses FlexSim software to help clients find the correct solutions and have more confidence in their system designs, workflows and processes. It's a graphical analysis that you can tweak, expand, or use for "what if" exercises. If you'd like to discuss simulation options for your project, contact us today.
