Definition of goals, data gathering and validation of the conceptual model

Different models can be created for each system according to the goals to be attained. A simulation requires accurate inputs (flows, performances, management rules, etc..) and therefore the gathering of data is a very delicate phase. The conceptual model has the purpose of having the whole project team share the scenarios to check as well as the hypotheses and assumptions.

Development of the SW model and design of the experiments campaign

Once the conceptual model has been “translated” into the simulation language, we define the scenarios to be tested and the expected degree of confidence for the comparison of the output results. Then, the number of runs to be launched is estimated

Output processing and their interpretation

The double competence of Simco in logistics and in simulation techniques is precious in this phase; the value added we give to our customers is actually our ability to transform numbers into project solutions.

Presentation of results and recommendations

Even the best study turns out to be useless if it is not able to “speak” its result. This phase is very important to help the costumer taking his decisions. As general rule, a 3D animation together with a report will show “critical” situations and the way to solve them.
