Description
Simulation has been successfully used resolving such questions as: what is the best method to shortening lines or queues in banks/supermarkets/theme parks/etc, how to streamline manufacturing goods/delivering services, how to route telephone traffic/police cars,/taxi cabs/trucks/messages on a network/jobs on factory floor and problems in numerous other fields. The aim of simulation is to reveal flaws or allow experimentation in the design of the system which can be tested €˜on paper €™ before investing in the creation of an actual system, saving effort and cost. Simulation is simple in principle: it imitates reality such as work in a bank, in a port, in a warehouse etc in a computer program. Unfortunately, the construction of such a program has been so far a complicated process well beyond the ability of laymen. SimWiz brings the simulation to the laymen, no programming or other specialized skill is needed in contrast with virtually all other simulation products. All other software are either easy to use because they are specialized for a narrow niche of application or are general enough but their use requires long training. In spite of being straightforward to use, SimWiz does all for each purpose: it defines, validates, communicates and runs simulation models. Its accompanying tutorial is sufficient to guide the novice in numerous representative applications of simulation: traffic, call centers, factory floor, maintenance, inventory, hospital.
