RNA have launched Discrete Event Simulation (DES) to assist clients in understanding the performance of manufacturing and production processes.

Software tools to assist in manufacturing, production and process planning are increasingly contributing an essential role in assuring changes to factory, office, process and logistics are designed tested and implemented in the shortest period of time. One tool that has proven its effectiveness in this arena is Discrete Event Simulation software (DES).

Once, this powerful 3D analyst tool was only utilised by the nuclear, automotive and large multi-national manufacturing industries.

But, on-site experience gained over a number of years have shown the engineers who have formed RNA, that this technology can assist SME and large organisations alike.

“In a virtual environment” manufacturing process layout / flow characteristics can be fully interrogated. By creating a simulation model or “benchmark” a client can gain a deeper understanding and visualisation, of the strengths and weakness within their current manufacturing or processing operation.

With a wide knowledge of the process industries and extensive experience in the utilisation of this technology, the RNA team can produce simulation model tailored to suit your requirements. Once created, a model will justify its creation again and again as it can assist with many aspects of the operation.

“What if” scenarios can be created and run to show comparisons against the original benchmark. New equipment, production lines, factory extensions, changes to dispatch or logistics, can all be scrutinised and challenged before purchase or change is undertaken and importantly, without any disruption to the current operation.

RNA has the process experience and expertise to understand customers’ business needs, whatever they may be and use discrete event simulation technology to help customers improve current process or alternatively advise on new process changes.
