Questions? Answers

9.
Do I need to change the model every time a routing change or I add a new product route?
Simcad Pro also includes a Dynamic Value Network Map that is created based on the simulation data. The Dynamic VNM provides the capability to analyze the impact of multiple value streams.
10.
Does Simcad Pro contain a model validation tool? How can I be confident that the model built represents my operation ?
Simcad Pro, contains a number of model validation tools to help in model creation:
 -- The animation environment provide a visual flow based on the state of the simulation engine. The displayed state guarantees that every object, resource, and carrier are moving as needed.  
-- Simcad Pro notifies the user if an object is not routed correctly, or if an object arrives at the wrong process. This validation aspect is constantly running to make sure that the model is performing properly.  
-- Analysis reports are available to help in validating the model.  
-- Simcad Pro has the ability to load historical data and retrace the model behavior.

Through Simcad Pro, users can load a complete month of objects and schedules in the same sequence as they occurred in the real world environment. At the end of the simulation run, generated results data can be compared to the actual data collected for validation. Performing such a validation eliminates the effect of curve fitting algorithms on the input data set.
11.
How can model building be simplified? Does Simcad Pro allows for module loading?
Simcad Pro has the ability to load pre-built modules and to create new modules for later use. Any model built with Simcad Pro can be converted to a module so that it can be used in other models.

Another application of the module implementation, is the ability to combine multiple models built by different members of the team. Each team member can build a section of the model, optimized and improved. All models can then be combined together to show the full implementation. Changes to one module can then be reintegrated in the complete model to study the effect on the overall operation.
12.
Can the models built, be expanded to support larger operations? If so, how does Simcad Pro provides that ?
Simcad Pro has been successfully used in large models to simulate different scenarios and forecast the growth potential of production entities. Growth scenarios of adding a plant to the model is simple as a copy/paste operation with the model dynamically updating based on the new changes. Moreover, the capacity increase can be performed during a simulation run, therefore, showing the impact of availability of new plants and distribution centers on the overall operation.

From the simulation engine perspective, Simcad Pro utilizes threading techniques that helps it benefit from the new advances in microprocessor technology. By utilizing these methods, Simcad Pro's runtime environment is scalable with the processing power provided and will benefit from multiprocessor PCs available on the market today.
