"Automation Associates' simulation modeling process helped us to determine which automation upgrade option to our Central Europe distribution center would meet our productivity and staff targets; they delivered 100% satisfaction for the project!"
Our approach to Distribution simulation solutions is to create visibility for our clients into the future of their facility operations and processes. Using the power of advanced simulation techniques and modeling software, we create a "virtual world" model of a facility, equipment, operations and workers. Our team then uses the model to facilitate discussions by testing proposed changes, upgrades and "what if" scenarios. This demonstrates to clients how a facility will respond to change and operate under speculative situations. Critical questions and concerns are answered through analyzing simulation experiments with the model, leaving the real facility and ongoing operations undisturbed.
Common issues for which clients seek resolution include:
