The SAM project, in conjunction with Flexsim simulation software and Saker Solutions are hosting this simulation in manufacturing event to highlight the benefits of simulation in manufacturing, to support visualisation of operations and the de-risking of decision making.

Simulation software allows users to build models directly in a 3D environment including Virtual Reality to help identify plant capacity, balance manufacturing lines, manage bottlenecks, solve inventory and WIP problems, test new scheduling practices, optimise production rates, justify capital expenditure and the simulation excels in challenges for manufacturing in ‘’what if’’ ?

At this event you will have the opportunity to gain an understanding of simulation software, how it works in practice with practical examples and how it can help your business.
