Simrunner

SimRunner takes your existing ProModel simulation models, evaluates them for you , then performs tests to find better ways to achieve the results you desire. Typically, most people use simulationtools to predict and improve a system’s performance by modeling the actual location (e.g., a plant floor, a bank lobby, or emergency room) or abstract process (i.e., a logical process). Through testingvarious “what-if”scenarios, SimRunner can help you determine the most ideal way to conduct operations we call this optimization .When you conduct an analysis using SimRunner,you build and run projects. With each project,SimRunner runs sophisticated optimization algorithms on your model to help you optimize multiple factors simultaneously. For each project, you will need to provide SimRunner with amodel to analyze or optimize, identify which input factors to change, and define how to measure system performance using an objective function. Sim-Runner can conduct two types of tests: PreAnalysis(Statistical Advantage) and SimulationOptimization.

SimRunner Benefits
Using SimRunner will help you find accurate solutions for your modeling needs. No longer must you sit and experiment withwhat you think might work, only to find that your solution actually interferes with productivity in other parts of the model. SimRunner will help you locate true solutions by monitoring how changesaffect each part of the model. In other words, SimRunner will not let you improve one area of your model at the expense of another—the results you get are beneficial to the entire model.
