These digital models allow you to run experiments and what-if scenarios without disturbing existing production systems or - when used in the planning process - long before the real production systems are installed. Plant Simulation is a discrete-event simulation tool that helps you to create digital models of logistic systems (such as production), so that you can explore a system's characteristics and optimize its performance. The need to deliver just-in-time (JIT) or just-in-sequence (JIS), introduce Kanban, plan and build new production lines, and manage global production networks requires objective decision criteria to help management evaluate and compare alternative approaches. Money can be lost daily through inefficient schedules, local instead of global optimization, inefficient resource allocation, and poor productivity.

In times of increasing cost and time pressures in production, along with ongoing globalization, logistics is a key factor in the success of a company. Siemens Tecnomatix Plant Simulation 16.0.5 Update Only
