Using Simcad Pro ’s patented dynamic simulation engine allows managers, supervisors and other process improvement experts to perform analysis, detect delays within the system, and generate real solutions. Users of Simcad Pro have the freedom to collaborate together on models and make notes and annotations to share important information and changes. Users can perform “what-if” scenarios to show how different changes affect the system as a whole, prepare for different situations, or look for more efficient solutions. Simcad Pro allows user to make changes “on-the-fly” while the simulation is still running, saving time and providing immediate visual feedback.

Due to the high variability of customers, calls, documents, idea transmissions, etc… it is important to utilize all available data to generate accurate mathematical figures from the model. Through Simcad Pro, the user can import historical data for different business processes from external data sources, as well as import live data into the model. Simcad Pro uses actual data from within the business ensuring that calculated data is reliable and accurate. Additionally, CAD layouts can be imported to the model and distances will automatically be calculated.

Different parameters can be altered within the model, including resources, capacity, timing, etc… by importing information from an external data source or inputting them manually. While the model is running, users are able to visualize where backups are occurring within the business. Changes can be made to the number of stations, the flow of information, number of workers, etc… in order to find the optimal environment. As changes are made to the model, users are able to see how they affect processes downstream, getting an accurate and complete picture of the entire business.

The “Simulation Analysis Report” provides users with a quick analysis of the model. This report includes information about poorly performing areas for resources and process. The report also provides reasons for why these problems are occurring, helping the user generate possible solutions.
