Breathtaking changes in technology have led to immense changes in computer simulation. Simulations of today can process huge amounts of data, incorporate loads of variables and variability, and explore multiple options, including worst case scenarios like COVID-19, without breaking a sweat. And they can do it quickly and cost effectively. It’s the most powerful tool you’ve probably never used, but should. Why do you think your kids spend so much time with their virtual reality headsets?
Simulations provide an animated, real-life representation in 2D or 3D (a digital twin) of how an operation, a process, or anything else works or could work (Factories, warehouses, supply chains, operations improvement, other). Highlight what works, what doesn’t, and how best to meet performance targets in a post COVID-19 world.
We’re in the 21st century. Let the computer do some of the work. Conduct a virtual pilot to sanity test your plans before you make changes in real-time and risk making a mistake. Simulation is a Gartner Top Ten Technology for a reason, and it can help you fight through the chaos of today. If you don’t use it to reduce risk and make data-driven decisions, your competitors probably will. MOSIMTEC’s business simulation consultants are here to help.
