Simulation in meat processing supply chains

In this article I explain meat processing supply chain characteristics and its main challenges. Referring to my poultry meat industry supply chain simulation framework in Python I point out common simulation applications in meat processing industry. Meat processing supply chains…

Simulation for operational excellence – 11 levers

Imagine a world where your organization operates at peak efficiency, continuously improves its processes, and navigates through uncertainty with confidence. This is the power of combining simulation with operational excellence (OpEx) principles. Simulation is your crystal ball, allowing you to…

5 popular industrial simulation applications

Discrete event simulation is a powerful technique used to model and analyze systems that involve discrete, sequential events. I have covered discrete-event simulation extensively in various SCDA blog posts. In this article I point out five classical examples of discrete-event…

Wire production batch / lot size optimization

Copper wire is used for electromagnetic applications. It thus has a wide range of applications and is of great importance, as well as it is offered in many different configurations. Copper wire is produced in a two phase production process.…

53% ROI: Barge transport simulation study

Following up on my recent article on simulation of barge transports I summarize the financial impacts and benefits of a barge transport simulation study. I show that a reduction of required barge pool capacity by just one barge results in…
