The Sequence Planner comparing three candidate run orders, each priced in changeover minutesNews and updates

The toolbox gets sharper: three new tools

Three small tools that each remove an afternoon of work: price a run order before you commit to it, turn a pasted recipe into a working model, and watch the model tell you why it sent work the way it did.

The Forecast tab showing finish readings across thirty runs and where each run landedNews and updates

Forecast a software release like a factory floor

Manufacturing stopped guessing at delivery dates decades ago. Point the same simulation at a delivery team and you get what a spreadsheet cannot give you: not a date, but the odds of hitting one.

The industry palette docked on the right of the ProcessModel canvasNews and updates

One app, built for your industry

Turn on an industry palette and ProcessModel puts your industry's elements in front of you, already sized and named for the job. Turn on the Software lens and the whole model starts speaking a delivery team's language, without changing a single calculation.

A dairy intake model with tankers, silos, balance tank and named transfer linesNews and updates

Fluid and bulk modeling comes to ProcessModel

Some plants do not count what they make, they measure it. ProcessModel now models the half of industry that runs on levels and flow rates: tanks, pipes, fillers and a mass balance that adds up.

PM Optimizer results ranking every configuration with confidence rangesNews and updates

From guessing to a guided search with PM Optimizer

A scenario answers one what-if. PM Optimizer answers the bigger question: out of everything you could change, what is the best you can do? It defines the experiment, searches for the winner, and ranks what it found with the confidence to back it.

Choosing when to use process simulation on a process improvement projectNews and updates

Simulation in process improvement projects

Consultants use many tools for process improvement, but few know exactly when simulation earns its keep. After forty years of projects, here is the litmus test for choosing the right tool.

A process model of a software testing operation built for optimization in ProcessModelNews and updates

Software testing optimization

Balancing the resources on a software testing line is a multi-dimensional problem you can only guess at without simulation. This worked example shows how to model it and optimize it for cost and time.
