• A simulation can be used to answer questions about an existing system. This allows us to predict how changes to an existing system will affect an operation prior to changing the operation.
• A simulation can be used to answer questions about a proposed system. This allows us to predict how a new system will perform prior to our clients making a large capital investment.
• A simulation provides a "dynamic" analysis of a proposed system. Most systems are designed using a "static" analysis, where proven concepts are integrated into a logical, coherent design based on collected data and system requirements. A "dynamic" simulation model takes into consideration the volatile nature of the real world, with statistical probability and an ever-changing environment.
• A simulation can produce "time condensed" results. A simulation can produce long-term analysis data in a short period of time, allowing us to estimate system capabilities well into the future.
• A simulation provides an animated, graphical representation of a proposed system. Instead of looking at still life drawings, you can actually see a system operating. This not only improves understanding of how a system will work, it provides visual queues to potential problems that can be addressed prior to implementation.
• A simulation will analyze a systems capability. We can review information on throughputs, utilization, queue sizes, storage requirements, resource requirements and comparison of "what if" scenarios to optimize a systems performance.

The preceding are just a few of the benefits of using computerized simulations. Every project does not warrant a computer simulation, but often times the benefits far outweigh the cost.
