The Need
Benefits
Simulation Modelling Applications yield the following benefits:
Example Simulation Modelling Application
The effective development and management of a railway depot involves a regular re-
GenMod is a Simulation Modelling Application which is capable of modelling almost all activities at most railway vehicle maintenance depots. We use this application to help clients predict the impact of depot development on both fleet and depot performance.
The client provides data which fully describe train running, the depot and the fleet(s) which are to be simulated. GenMod uses this
data to model depot and fleet activity for as many simulated days as the user requires.
Why Simulation Modelling
Simulation Modelling is a very powerful way of investigating (and hence understanding)
the complex relationships between a large number of variable factors in, for example,
a production process or the operation of a complex organisation. Most systems, and
the questions we ask about them, are far too complex for us to attempt to model them
analytically -
Minimizing Risk
By constructing a computer simulation of your system/process we can help you to identify and test ideas (and even fine tune them to your best advantage), with the minimum financial risk (ie before incurring the cost of implementation and without making expensive mistakes. You can find out about your real system "safely" and without costly trial and error.
Mutual Consultants’ Role
Our role is to work closely with the client both during the development of the Simulation Modelling Application and downstream to ensure that the resulting application imitates the real life system/process and that the application continues to evolve in line with the business needs.
