Unit 14: Simulation Languages (II)

The outputs of the simulation offer information about: Notes

1. Utilization of production equipment
2. Identification of bottlenecks
3. Production system performance

4. Inventory levels
Areas of Use

SIMUL8 can be used to model any procedure where there is a flow of work, however the main
areas of use are in manufacturing, health care, contact centers and supply chain.
SIMUL8 can be used to simulate different kinds of:

1. Manufacturing systems such as assembly line models or models of material flow during
production.
2. Logic systems such as model of manipulation with material between storage, manufacturing
and expedition, models of storage expeditionary systems or models of logistic services
for distribution centers.
3. Administrative workflows such as model of received orders.

4. Client service systems or service delivery such as model of customer attendance at banks,
models of call center customer attendance or models of customer attendance at hypermarket
cash desks.

Taylor

Taylor II is a menu driven simulation package mainly used in manufacturing and logistics. It is
developed for the analysis and quantitative evaluation of complex processes especially of those
with a dynamic character. A lot of applications in different industries show that there is an
increasing need for simulation tools. The paper demonstrates the process of building, analyzing
and presenting models of real world systems with Taylor II.

Micro Saint

Built off the very successful Micro Saint engine, but totally redesigned to be faster, modular and
more powerful! Micro Saint Sharp is a general purpose, discrete-event simulation software tool.
Micro Saint Sharp’s intuitive graphical user interface and flow chart approach to modeling make
it a tool that can be used by generalists as well as simulation experts. Micro Saint Sharp has
proven to be an invaluable asset in both small businesses and Fortune 500 companies and in
many areas including the military, human factors, health care, manufacturing, and the service
industry.
Micro Saint Sharp’s power, suppleness and tools for optimization make it the simulation tool of
choice for any organization. With a computer model of your process built in Micro Saint Sharp,
you can begin to get the answers to your “what if” questions. What if I change the way humans
work with the system? What if I change my resource mix? What if I rearrange the process? Find
the answers with Micro Saint Sharp quickly and completely for systems of all sizes, shapes, and
complexities.

Micro Saint Sharp Version 3.5 - now with floating licenses and a new Experiment capability!
There are still 3 ways to view your models: network diagram view, 2D animation and 3D
