Simulation, experimentation, and optimization are the core technologies used by organizations to improve production output and decrease associated costs. With Flexsim Simulation Software, end-users can create a computerized 3-dimensional model that behaves like the actual system it represents. A simulation model of any manufacturing or material handling system or process can be created using Flexsim's drag and drop model building objects. Flexsim can determine the capacity of an entire plant, a single manufacturing line, or warehouse. Flexsim can balance labor and equipment requirements. Flexsim can be used to manage bottlenecks, solve excessive work-in-process problems, justify capital expenditures, establish proper inventory levels, improve order picking systems, and optimize production rates. The power and beauty of Flexsim is that your ideas for improving a process can be simulated, tested, and justified prior to implementing them in the actual system. The results of each simulation can be analyzed graphically through 3D animation, and through statistical reports and graphs, which are both excellent for communicating a model's purpose and results to both technical and non-technical audiences alike.
Roughly half of all Fortune 500 companies use Flexsim, including

In working with companies over the past decade, one characteristic that always surfaces in those companies that have been well managed over time is a "bias for action." They are companies always looking for methods, people, and tools that will help them improve what they do and how they do it. Simulation is the single most pragmatic behavior that innovative companies can apply to improving their ongoing processes. It's both a tool and practice that has the potential to immediately generate a two, ten, or hundred-fold return. We invite you to use Flexsim and begin to realize these amazing benefits of simulation.

Warehouse simulation is a process that can yield great dividends in a short period of time. Warehouses are an inevitable requirement for many businesses, but their proper organization is all too often overlooked. Any business that finds itself in need of a full-scale warehouse must also factor in the tasks of organization, reorganization and tracking.
Running a warehouse simulation on a computer can lead to a lot more speed on the floor of a given warehouse. Even when items are well organized, it is not easy to know how best to distribute personnel to ensure optimal item recovery. Shipping stations can also be refined to allow for greater ease of use.
