A simulation is a useful way for you to test real-life situations and processes without actually implementing those situations and processes. Since they help you to identify where improvements can be made before processes are put in place, working with simulations can save valuable time and resources.

Simulation allows you to explore ‘what if’ questions and scenarios without having to experiment on the system itself. It helps you to identify bottlenecks in material, information and product flows. It helps you to gain insight into which variables are most important to system performance.
