Simulation Engineering

Do It Right The First Time

Design Systems, Inc.’s simulation engineering experience spans more
than 20 years and cumulative staff experience more than 100 years.
The process involvement over these years has been in a multitude of
industries.

SIMULATION ENGINEERING

The most critical component of simulation engineering analysis is the Workcell

ability to understand the dynamics of a system and then translate that

understanding into a simulation model that will accurately reflect the
system(s) and its dynamic interactions. This analysis allows your
project goals to be quickly and accurately validated.

Simulation Engineering Benefits

Develop a thorough understanding of your system including the dynamic aspects

that are often “hard to put your finger on”.
Pharmaceutical / Manpower /
Improve communication and system understanding across departments as a Staffing
diverse project team works together to develop the simulation model and drive
the analysis.
SIMULATION ENGINEERING

Predict how planned system modifications will effect operations prior to actually
changing the system.
Determine the “best” proposed system concept prior to making any capital
investment.
Predict how volume or product mix changes will impact operations.
Document your system in terms of process function, data parameters and
Food & Beverage / EMS
process flow.
Animated graphical representation of your system improves the understanding of
how the system will work and provides visual feedback regarding potential
problems/issues that may not be intuitive.
The simulation model is a living tool which accurately represents your current /
proposed operations. “What If?” scenarios on your system can be tested.
A “user friendly interface” can be developed for the simulation model which gives
you the ability to use the model to test various scenarios.
Design Systems does not sell equipment. We act as an independent 3rd party Paper Mfg. / EMS
and keep YOUR best interests in mind.

Our Approach
Identify the Team – Design Systems does not work in a vacuum. Nobody
understands your system better than you!
Understand and document the study objectives
Develop a thorough understanding of the system.
Collect and validate data and operating parameters Part Delivery / Fort Truck / Material
Flow
Develop a simulation specification which documents the model framework and
data inputs. Review with the team.
Construct a simulation model and validate the simulation results to “real world”
performance of the actual system.
Conduct Experimentation to meet the stated objectives
Report recommendations and solutions
Perform simulation engineering analysis.
Provide solutions and recommendations for satisfying the study objectives.
