Simulation Studies
Background
A system, either static or dynamic, is a set of interacting or interdependent components forming an integrated whole. Systems are highly dependent on proper utilisation of controls. For improved planning, operations and quality management, systems analysis software packages have been developed to model and simulate the behaviour of real systems. As a result, it is crucial that the models and parameters used for simulating real systems are as accurate as possible to ensure that simulation results are representative of the real system behaviour. Our Simulation studies process consists of the following stages: simulation model, simulation experiment, simulation output and conclusion formulation. Human decision-making is required at all stages in simulation studies and in making decisions to alter the system under study in the real world environment for improved planning, operations and quality management. The only stage where human intervention is not required is during the efficient running of the simulation, which is generally performed by the chosen simulation software package. The important point to note is that in any simulation study a powerful simulation software package is merely a hygiene factor – its absence can hurt a simulation study but its presence will not ensure success. Experienced problem formulators, and simulation modellers and analysts are indispensable for successful simulation studies.
Value Proposition
Mothee Consulting is capable of developing mathematical models, performing model validation through measurements, and running needed simulation studies to provide essentially knowledge for planning, operations and quality management. Our modelling, validation and simulation process uniquely provides comprehensive support through the following steps: identification of key processes, analysis of technical and economic efficiency, scenario analyses, and visualisation of optimisation potentials.
